I sent e-mailed this to Autocar:

Reading your review of the Porsche Boxster and Honda S2000, I am happy to
accept that the Porsche is the superior driving machine. As a mere mortal who has to pay every month for my car, I decided that the Honda S2000 was better value for money than a Porsche Boxster.

My S2000 is Silver (

I may be jumping ship but giving the S2K 3* and the Boxster 5* does not ring true for fun factor. The S2k is far more of a road racer, the boxster is more sporting cruising IMHO. ergo i would have had the fun factor for the S higher at 5 and maybe the Box at 4.

However on build, image, comfort and luggage space the Box kicks arse...

Why don't we mailbomb the Autocar email address ? I have a great programme that could probably send about 300-400 emails per hour - anybody want a copy ?

Hey Shabby,

I notice you've got front AND REAR Muz mats in your S.

I was just curious as to where you put the rear ones??

the rear Muz mat is the roof well mat that protects the inside of the plastic rear screen from scratches when folded, that said it might be one of Muz's boot carpets.

OT - does anyone have one of Muz's boot protectors on the UK board?
