    Fiesta purchase, Porsche maintenance.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Budget a couple of grand a year, and you will have money left over, and a stupid grin.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Sharp, fast, informative.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    250Bhp, Monster boost, huuuge big fat tyres. Six months on, and its more than capable of leaving me literally breathless from a quick minihoon along ""private roads"".

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Snapped ARB, and loose hose as bad as it gets so far( but the loose hose diagnosed EXACTLY like a blown Turbo, so lots of nervous peeks un der the bonnet)

    Its a Porsche, so you get the hedgehog jokes, and the boot dated wayyyy before 82, but the nose and flared rear arches still give me shivers

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Sports seats, and hardcore suspension. It's not a Roller…

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Its nearly 20 years old, so most people don't know what it is, and the other half see the red LED, and walk away.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Massively knowledgeable indy network, value varies, but avoid OPC like plague....
