XKR 5.0 as a weekend toy ??

[Westfield69]

How many of you are running the above as weekend, evening toy budget is £25K also considering 997 3.6 Gen 1 Manual.
Can you see any issues with the realiabity of it not being used all the time ?

Thanks in advance

what do you want? a GT? or a sports car?

Not 100% sure, getting rid of my Westfield and 2017 MK7 Golf GTI DSG to have 1 toy rather than 2 have a company car Audi Diesel (Boring) so comfort, reliability and something I look back at when I get out is my need.

An XKR Conv is on my radar for next year... also considered an SLK 55 and another TVR (done to death). Still think the XKR is an amazing shape, can hustle if required. Plus cruise in top comfort when the mood takes you.
It's the option I always return to when I consider others.

Have owned an SLK55 so ticked that box.

I've been running 5L XKR convertible for 4 or 5 years as a weekend toy, it's not given me any troubles. As others have said keep the battery on a conditioner. Fast when you want it, happy to pootle when you want to be laid back.

Thank you that’s good to know, my Westy lives hooked up to a C tek to stop battery problems so no issues their.
