I never liked the CTR in its latest guise but these are reported to be corkers (pun intended). I couldn't buy another 2 seater as my S is still here but do like the boxster and cayman a lot.

I had the exact same emotions when selling my old S2000, bought an EP3 and it didn't make me smile at all but a nice car. Knew I had to get another 2000 so did just that..
Lovely car though the Boxster, I'm going to get one as a replacement for the S if I ever sell it. I like the 987 though.

Nice car - enjoy 
Regarding the dash in the end the only two dials I use are the tacho and the digital spedo underneath which also displays milage left in the tank. Never used the convential spedo

Nice one Caroline, been thinking about the old man version of one of these (911) for a while now.
Forgot about that, might well make it to this one (in the wife's Accord)......

Following the premature death of my S I went into a CTR as my daily driver but after living with it for 3 months, I just can't get on with it. It's a nice car and all that but it's not a convertible and I find it heavy and it just doesn't make me smile like my previous S2000's have. So with a Euro Hoon looming in September (booked before death of S) I knew that I had to make a decision.
So Honda are buying my CTR back off me and we are chopping Mr CJ's 10 year old Golf in against it and I'm going into a sensible company car but at the weekend, I get to play in this:
Dealer hasn't listed a few of the options such as Sports Chrono Pack, so think we've got a good deal all in all but the main thing, it made me smile as soon as I started it up and pulled out the parking space, something the CTR has never done

very nice car and hopefully some summer left in which to really enjoy it

Moi aussi.
If you want to stretch Herman's legs a little, come up to the North Yorks pub meet next week....
In fact Mr Chilled, you should come along too - you're still in Leeds???
Sorry for thread hi-jack.

Well, I'm not knocking that! Sounds like a good buy.

Starlight, the 'normal' speedo is weird, 20, 50, how on earth are you suppose to know what speed you are doing? So pleased its got a digital speedo as well.
Well I've picked , my company car, BMW 320, Golf, Passat, Lexus, Audi.....nope I've gone for DS3 Ultra Prestige fun, cheap tax, leather, Bluetooth, sat nav, cruise control, 99 co2 plus downgrade payment - let's hope it lasts the lease term
