Summary
What does this car say about you?
Nothing, silly question to ask!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
No idea. I buy cars purely for my own pleasure. Not bothered what others think of them. Friends tend to like it though.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, it's a great sportscar that can be used everyday if you don't need much space. Used prices are a steal now too. Got to be one of the best value used buys in this category.
What are you likely to buy next?
Probably a newer 997 C2 at some point, but hard to justify over this model to be honest. May also go for a 996 GT3 if funds permit, but currently a lot more expensive.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No
What's most practical about your car?
Rear seats are useful for children, boot (front) is actually quite big. Certainly big enough for a quick trip to the supermarket. But it's not a family car by any means.
