NOTHING "wannabee 911" about the handling!
Yeah, and I don't rate them at all. I'm not a fan of Porsche full stop, never have been. They are capable cars but IMO they are over rated and way over priced. For £45k there are loads of other cars I would have over a Porsche and day.
£45 get you an early 996 Turbo now or a GT3. Thats SILLY money for truely great cars.
I can't really think of better cars for that money to be honest.
As for overpriced?? is well know that Porsches have been great value for many years now. Thats why they continually win group test after group test and award after award. 996 and 986 Boxster were class leaders right until they were replaced and its now well known that the 997 and 987 are the best in the class again.
Caymen S recently trounced the M3 and Audi RS4 in an Autocar group test as well.
Slag of Porsche owners all you want
but the cars are awesome things mate. Stunning to drive in all circumstances and even better to own.(unless you had a late 996 and got in ass recently financially!
)
the only experience i had of a porsche was terrible..a carrera 4 two years ago...it leaked in water through the speakers...the brakes failed and the oil feed pipe imploded causing a smoke screen like a f1 blow up
hence it was soon disposed of and lost shit loads on the resale aswell
