Default New Car time for mate

Friend has 20,000 to spend on another car, has to be practical and fun. He is looking at 996's and S2000's , I have told him pros and cons of both .
Has anyone got any other recommendations ?


cheers

I'm sure that was an unbiased review then Jamie

Does he really want a roadster?
Or a coupe?

It was unbiased, I told him how much I have spent on mine and what to look out for and that the S2000 is nearly as quick and would cost a lot less to maintain.

I was joking

Z4M coupe or roadster then!
Might be pushing the budget a bit.

Maserati 4200 (I think Fieldl would agree )

Stand out!
