£15-£18k, is there a better 2 seater than SLK55 AMG?
Discussion
My other half is looking at a new 2 seater and looking to spend UP TO £18,000 (ideally closer to 15k).
It will be a daily driver so reliability and North on 20 MPG preferable. We tested an SLK55 AMG which was nice and obviously had an amazing sound. It is rare and that is a bonus too.
We like the SLK as it has the folding hardtop for added security. Convertible would be nice but not essential.
We tried a Z4M and found the clutch too heavy.
A Cayman or Boxster S (neither of which we have driven)would be gen 1 and we have seen various horror stories on here (although accept the problem probably isn't as bad as suggested)
Could the wise on here offer any further suggestions please?
Many thanks,
Sharon

No mention of what mileage OP's other half will be doing but if the daily drive involves city and the BMW Z4's clutch was heavy then I think she will find the clutch more of an issue than the reliability.
Around 1,000 per month. Probably split 60/40 in favour of motorway miles. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
