Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted a classic sports car.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

The noise, the pull in second and third gears is just fantastic. Mine has the optional Porsche Sports Exhaust, its worth having. Poodles along in sixth at 40 MPH, easily deals with stop start traffic. Once you get used to it, a simple car to drive. But the smiles this car brings worth every penny.

What's it like to park?

Fairly easy, you have to take care at first at the front as the bonnet dips away but thats it.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Its been perfect.

What's most practical about your car?

Its an everyday use machine. Can get a full weeks shopping in for four adults (But who cares), plenty of room for weekend luggage. Easily usable for day to day use.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Absolutely right to purchase a convertible.
