Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Frighteningly fast and unbelievable road handling - exhiliarating.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Sat Nav disc got stuck but was replaced under warranty.
What's most practical about your car?
Great to have a back seat after having 2 Boxster S but less boot size overall due to engine in back, not mid mounted.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Love the official Porsche warranty giving complete peace of mind after a full 111 point safety check - worth every pound it costs.
