Opinions looking for a new sports car...Audi, BMW or Porsche
Discussion
Hey there,
A few years back I sold my much loved S2000 to invest in the Skyline GTR market which I have done,however i don't get the same enjoyment i did from the S2000 out of my Skyline. So i feel I need to fill that hole. I've been looking at the following and after some opinions or if you have any experiences you could share. Around the £12k mark, something around 250 BHP is ideal.
Audi TTS - the 2.0 TFSI I hear can suffer from eating oil is this common?
BMW Z4 30is - Havnet heard anything bad about these although i have little knowledge?
Porsche Boxster Either 2.7 or 3.4?
Any others to consider?

it doesn't need to be extremely quick I have a 500bhp R32 Skyline for that. I just want something that's got a bit of go in it say at least 0-60 6 secs, nicely handling, good looking and rewarding to drive. Its more of an A or B road car unlikely to do many track days, but many 1 or 2 you never know.
I've looked at Elise in the used section here. Do I want to be going S2? Are those Toyota engines any good?

Well let me give you a little more info on my car situation. I have a 2017 Seat Leon FR TDI as a daily which is great for that its new, reliable, enough grunt for a daily and very cheap to run. I also have the R32 Skyline GTR which I'll be honest you cant really enjoy unless you want to loose you licence as its far too fast to enjoy on the road. They do say you should never meet you hero's!! I would be an idiot to sell that though its its totally mint, nicely modded, forged engine and a Vspec, so its only going up so that will just sit in the garage with the occasional run just to keep it ticking over.
A mate suggested I could look at it another way and get rid of the daily and combine the 2 and get something like a Convertible M3......but then into silly running costs on a daily then.
I like the sound of an Elise but the reliability does bother me. When you say you had a head go is this on a K series or Toyota VVTI?

Well im guessing in terms of fixing the Lotus will be a lot more simple than a Boxster?
I looked at them on YouTube they sound awesome. Its the K series i'd wanna go for over a Toyota then? Its a case of just looking for good history or even a cylinder head receipt then?
I've also just been looking at Westfields a Nice 2.0 Zetec yellow one of here for 11995. They seem to be much better value than a Catheram?
