£710 ?! wow, that really must affect the desirability for this model. JayEmm doesn't mention it - I wonder how many people have got into these and later realised the massive road tax.
You'd only have yourself to blame, it's one of the fundamentals if you're checking running costs. It's one of the reasons I went for my S: it's pre march 2006 so it's "only" £400 to tax. The really mean one is the 2.7 with 6 speed 'box option: that misses the CO2 bracket by 1 gramme and attracts full whack tax like an S!
As for the bore scoring: mine had a new short block fitted by Porsche at 48k miles in 2018 for excessive smoke.
As for the video, I can never decide how much of a 'sport' or 'sport design' model is cynical marketing, of if they'd pass an honest double blind test in driving. I get that they're in a desirable package but things like the missing binnacle cowl seem to have been Done for the sake of it and are actually detrimental to the car.
The R is obviously a different beast.
