bit skeptical until I had a drive in one today

£27k of Jap engineering

but I have to admit it was like driving a Porsche

driving position, the way the central air con vents are located

it's like a 911 for pocket money

What? Like a Porsche for pocket money because of the position you had the seat in and the placement of the air vents?

Sometimes, I wish I was fking stupid, the world seems to be a better place through the eyes of the terminally dumb.

Am I the only PH'er who thinks this is the most over-hyped car ever made? What's so amazing about it? I just don't get all the gushing.

I agree with the OP; I saw a silver one the other day, Porsches are silver too.

I have to agree with you, went out in one and wasn particularly impressed by it. Didnt sound amazing, performance was only OK.

To be honest I'd rather save myself £10k and get a real Porsche wink

Likewise, been trying to like these but its just not working. I get that part of the theory is that you can modify / tune to your reqyurements but the starting package is just not quite there!
