The wife bought a second hand Boxter S last year and i have to agree with many a motoring journalist, this surely has to be one of the best sports cars ever made.

Impecable build quality (no rattles, no creaks, no squeaks) and a fantastic engine and exhaust note make this an absolute pleasure to drive. I am 6ft 4in so the cabin is tight, but i'll put up with that for the sake of the driving experience.

The car came with a metalic blue paint job, Air con, full grey leather, silver inserts on dash, gear knob, handbrake and roll over bars, heated seats, 6 Disk Changer and it looks the biz.

The bonnet has a deep luggage space good enough for 4 good size overnight bags. The boot has a flat, shallowish wide luggage area that will also hold a good amount, but forget your golf bag.

The electric roof goes up and down in about 12 seconds. Really easy to operate via single clip inside. No leaks with quiet motoring when up. However, even with the roof down and the wind deflector in place, you don't get battered.

We saved over £18k from new price and its only done 7000 miles in 2 years. Servicing is every 12,000 or 12 months and costs about £200-£250.

We are sure to clock up more miles than that.
