Calipers are my biggest annoyance!

I have to say I've had mine for a year and apart from parts I've fitted and servicing it has cost me nothing apart from the of top up of oil, top car I'd say

If you ignore insurance,servicing,fuel and depreciation,then they have a good point.

Try running a Boxster or a Z4 for a bit! The cheapest service I had on a boxster was £300 and that wasn't at a dealership. I've been quoted 90 quid at my local Honda Dealership for my 99k service if I take my own oils.

The car is the bargain of the century.

Has nobody read the footnote on the post that says they're talking about depreciation?

Mind you, I don't believe that, either.
