  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Amazing, i have never quite felt power like this, and the grip is unreal. Why buy a porsche? The handling is spot on and i haven't managed to spin the wheels yet thanks to the Limited slip diff. It gets looks everywhere it goes and everyone knows what it is.

    What's it like to park?

    Fine, although rear visibility isnt always great thanks to the large spoilers on the back.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Nothing as yet, touch wood.

    What's most practical about your car?

    The space in the front, back and boot. Reasonably comfortable although can be a bit noisy on long journeys.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    An aftermarket backbox, it then sounds as a scooby should!
