Good to hear that you're staying, but I'm pretty sure that the Porsche would have done that drive better than the Golf!

i am sure it would but as said why change a car i know inside out and get looked after big time with it and enjoy it and have the chance to play with even more and enjoy more but the porsche is a bit lardy in fact the plate on the car spelt lardy  :laugh: 320bhp 3.6 sounds stunning when pushing on and i do say pushing as i was just thrown the keys to it and told go have fun just bring it back when your done  :grin:  :driver: ooh did it stink when i took it back  :grin:.

I'm not massively surprised by your choice. I nearly bought a Boxter S to replace my S3 a few years ago, then at the last minute pulled out because I loved my S3.

Porsches go and handle well, but if you're going to use it as an everyday car as well, I find them a real let down. The dash of ALL Porsches are horrible and I just don't like the shape of any Porsche so far.

I drove a 996 Turbo on track a few weeks ago and the first thing I noticed after coming out of an F430 was the the Porka's brakes were RUBBISH! Are all 911's like this??

Dis-agree totally, the dash of the Cayman is better than the Golf IMHO.  and the looks.............. :drool:

But what is one mans Champagne is another mans water.

ETTO.  

I can see your point Matt, i am sure you will enjoy the Modding process and the end results.   :driver: :driver:

The trick is not to plan it too much. I said to my fiance that I would get another BMW coupe at some point and she could dirve it. My plan was to do it in about 6 months, after the wedding. Then we went to have a look at some last weekend just to get an idea. Next thing I knew, I'd gone and bought one on a spur of the moment decision! That's how I always end up changing my cars.

I've got 2 cars now and she's still got hers. My plans never got as far as selling one  :grin:
