Summary
What does this car say about you?
Good taste but slick and fast. The colour is eye-catching, platinum white with red/black leather interior.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They either drool over it or maitain a silent envy (coloured green of course).
Would you buy this car again and why?
No because I am going to keep this one for a long time. However, the cockpit is a bit spartan (no satnav) and even my 5' 9" has to corkscrew itself into the seat. Don't know how Clarkson manages.
What are you likely to buy next?
Bugatti Veyron when the price falls.

June 2007
Did you get a good deal and why?
It was a good deal at the time but on today's market, I could do better
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I wanted a good looking performance car. There are two many Boxsters and Z4s around. Familiarity breeds contempt. Also Honda's reputation for reliability is almost unbeatable.

Excellent
