Advantages: the coolest 4x4 ever!! Disadvantages: everything is an optional extra!
a wonderful peice of kit! although it maybe pricey its worth every penny, when you hit the sports button in my words it goes from cayenne to turbo carrea! it sounds like a nascar when you put your foot down a little, produces an orgasmic sound!
the handling of this car is wonderful (on the road) but do be worned my recent testing had prooven this car to be a let down when it comes to snow and offroading!
on the other side... when they say the starting price is £75,000 they really mean it! porsche provides everything...as an optional extra!, even floor mats at £90 for a set! You dont even get wheels as standard!
i would highly recomend the bose surround sound system for a music lover! ...
Advantages: Fast, good looking, great handling, fun Disadvantages: Costs, maintenance needs
I recently bought a Porsche Boxster S 3.2. It's red with black interior, ABS, Traction Control, Trip Computer, Surround sound system and the usual Boxster bits.
I paid about £12K for this model, X reg, 84000 miles. Then the problems started:
1. Airbag light was on...needed new ECU costing £350 (dealer paid)
2. 2x new rear tyres...Michelin £200 each (dealer paid)
3. Emission Control light came on. Reset by Porsche £50...two days later, came on again!
4. Clutch needed replacing...£870
5. Windscreen chipped (dealer paid)
6. Front and rear CV gaiters needed replacing (dealer paid)
7. Front tyres needed replacing...£260
Having had all this work done, the car is brilliant. Very fast, 6 speed gearbox for shorter gear ratios. 152+ mph and 280bhp. Handles exceptionally well. 25 - 30 mpg; but driving like an old person ...
Advantages: build quality, looks, dash materials, road noise, bose sound system,engine power, rarity, Disadvantages: suspension may be harsh for some, stupid parcel shelf. traction can be poor
Having owned my Mazda now for about a week I believe I can safely say that I am extremely please with all aspects of the car. lets take you through a few areas...
EXTERIOR
From the outside the Mazda 3 is a Marmite effort. People either love the look, or you hate it! I for one think it is gorgeous, loosely Represrnting the Unique Mazda RX8 it has pround arches, cat like tail lights (get it TAIL lights "meow" he he, oh nevermind) and a sweeping smiling grill.
This model comes with 17" 5 spoke wheels as standard, and they are alot more attractive than most factory fit wheels. Also being 5 spoke they show of the all round Disc brakes and make the alloys very easy to clean.
BOOT SPACE
Like the Albert hall, this car boast a ginourmous boot space. however the extended bumper on the sport model (longer by 2cm than ts2 etc) can ...
