True - but then not everyone is bothered by that. It doesn't detract from whether the car is good to drive or not.

I suspect you'd argue that it's not, in any event, but that's subjective - I don't think they're anywhere near as bad as some people would make them out to be.

Borely, Boxster running costs needn't be a fortune if you find a decent one to begin with and then use a good independent Porsche specialist to look after the car for you rather than paying OPC rates.

My one relatively brief drive of a 2.7 left me distinctly underwhelmed though. For my money, it would have to be the 3.2S or not at all, I think.

the boxster is overpriced and the Z4 is a dog aside from the M which is a very fast dog

I've gone on about how awful they are myself but to be fair they're only bad if you're expecting a proper sports car rather than a 'nice' car.

use the spellchecker?

which would tell him he'd used a perfectly good word but not that its use was grammatically incorrect, not that I'm having a pop

I wouldn't worry about it.
Gad thinks he needs to hit return after each line of text much like a 1960's typewriter and he never starts a sentence with a capital letter

Test drive them all and don't miss out on the SLK

I wouldn't buy a TT or a Z4 (that isn't an M) ever - horrible cars.
