Wow, what a fantastic car this is - even better than I remember from the test drives I had. It's not as quick as my other plaything, but it's not far off, and the traction... oh matron!

2002 Boxster S, my third Porsche (Boxster 2.5, 993 C2, this).

They make a great pair I reckon.

What's the betting that the Porsche actually does more to the gallon than the Scoob!!

I have a horrible feeling you're right! Average in the 7000 miles I've done in it works out to just under 24, but on a decent run it'll do 28-29 no problem.

I swapped a Mercedes A160 (that did 37mpg) for the Impreza, so methinks my fuel bill is going firmly UP!
