i must be :rolleye: but i know my car inside out and with buying a porsche second hand its the fear of the unknown and 12k for an engine puts me off :scared:
-
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??
-
they are abit dead in the pedal ie no feedback and they have all been like it and i drove a few :signLOL:

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:
-
Great news Matt. Ed30 modded up with all the other Bells that come with the car, as a package, its hard to beat. :happy2:
