Porsche Cayenne 3.6 tip auto 2007
This is my second Cayenne, my first an 04 3.2, which kept and enjoyed 80,000 miles in over 5 years. The 3.2 was quite underpowered, the 3.6 feels a lot lighter, more responsive and gets better mpg (I’ve actually broken 27mpg on a run). I’d encourage anyone to buy a first generation Cayenne as a lower cost taster, then go to your local Porsche dealer and strike a deal they are doing fantastic deals at the moment and servicing is cheaper than your average family saloon with 20k intervals.

Porsche Cayman 2007
No car I have driven has EVER come close to the sublime experience of piloting my Cayman S at speed along a twisting B-road. And don’t assume it’s my first quality car - I’ve owned a BMW M3, a Jaguar XKR, a Merc, an Audi - I’ve tried cars from most premium brands. And before buying the Cayman S I tested it against a 911 and was sold on the Cayman in seconds - it was as though they were designed in different centuries, which indeed they were... I challenge anyone to spend time in that car and not emerge from the cockpit grinning from ear to ear. Yet, even allowing for the intrusive road noise from the big 19" rims, it’s a car in which you can journey cross-country all day, like a proper GT. But to use it only as a GT is to ignore the Cayman’s real achievement - which is to turn every road into a racetrack (and you into Michael Schumacher or Lewis Hamilton) so informative are the messages coming through the steering wheel, so precise the handling, so firm the grip. It has ample power, and could handle more, yet returns 26mpg in real world motoring on A and B roads and over 30 on the motorway. How’s that for a car that does 0-60 in 5? My only gripe is the creaking from the rear (like plastic rubbing on plastic) that so many other owners complain about. I’ve got used to it after a couple of years and you can dampen it by dumping a coat on the back shelf if your dealer can’t find the source of the problem. If only the Cayman had four seats I’d have more excuses to drive it... but then it wouldn’t handle so sublimely... so let’s celebrate the Cayman S as the ultimate no compromise sports car!

Porsche Cayman 2008
I’ve had my Cayman S for nearly 4 months. At first it rattled a lot, especially the dashboard. It was so bad my dealer had it for 3 days but they couldn’t find the problem. However, as it ages the rattles reduce which is a bit weird!!! The performance and handling are truly amazing. You have to keep a close eye on the speedo because the chassis and aerodynamics are so good you don’t realise how fast you are travelling. A couple of hours is the max before your body and especially your ears need a rest. But after 10 minutes rest you can’t wait to get back into the cockpit to have another go!! The longer you have this wonderful machine the more you appreciate it. What a car. What an experience. Thank you Porsche. Driving will never be the same again.

Porsche Boxster 2004
What a fantastic car, why pay 20k for a Ford when you can get a great low mileage Porsche Boxster for the same price. Build quality is superb and the handling is spot on. It is a superb all rounder and is just as happy pottering round town as on the open road.

Porsche Boxster S 3.4 tiptronic 2006
Have had the Boxster now for 18 months and 11000 miles. It`s as fast as anyone would want on the roads, and handles instinctively - point and go. Traction control is brilliant when you over do it. Previously had BMW Z4, which by comparison was tail twitchy, breaking out suddenly - scary. Tiptronic box with `paddles` is excellent, but don`t expect much more than 16mpg when pushing on - 29mpg possible on motorways. Its a head turner, and not much difference in appearance from 911, particularly at front end. Problems to date - key stuck in ignition lock requiring recovery to garage - change of ignition barrel handled well by Porsche, including courtesy car. Otherwise solid and reliable. Compulsory extras - rear parking control; larger steering wheel (standard is `skinny` feeling) Extras to avoid - funny colours; expensive sat nav/telephone; radio upgrades (can`t hear it anyway when you`re roaring) I usually get `itchy feet` about 18 months into owning a car, and start lusting for others, but not with this one. It makes commuting a pleasure, and the weekends fun.

Porsche Cayenne 4.8 Turbo Tiptronic 2008
Amazing handling makes this one of the most exciting SUV’s you can drive. It’s a hugely powerful car and will out drive the X5 hands down. A bit disappointing on looks and it’s not cheap but it’s the performance you buy this car for and it certainly delivers.

Porsche Boxster 3.4s 2006
This is really my wifes car and has done nearly 10,000 miles. Excellent, much improved from the old 3.2 with great build quality and performance. Why pay 20K for a 911 and get fractionally more performance value for money? The best soft top on the market.

Porsche Cayenne GTS 4.8 litre V8 auto 2008
The new GTS is far "sportier" than the Turbo and also costs £20k less. This a huge improvement of the old Cayenne S that has serious suspension issues and the ride is now much less jarring and feels more like a conventional car rather than an SUV when driven. In my opinion this is the best SUV, far better than its rivals such as the BMW X5 and Range Rover Sport.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo 2007
The Cayenne Turbo is a monster of a car. The fastest 4x4 production car available. This car is amazing! It has the pace of a supercar and handles like a sports car. Build quality is excellent.

Porsche 911 Carrera S 2005
You may have heard that the 911 is good - well it’s good and then some. There aint many motors you can drive at 27mph in top and then right up to 185mph - not that i have! Handling is great - only problem is affordability - but that’s what makes it special when you get one. Oh yeah last thing - everyone looks to see who’s driving it.

Porsche Boxster 3.2S
Porsche really are living on past glory. New Engine at 6500 miles in the 3.2S Boxster. Nice to drive (my wife thought it was great) but big loss when you sell. Then bought a GT3 then but needed a diff at 11000 miles. Get your act together Porshe you are taking the piss on reliability.

Porsche 911 Cabriolet Carerra S
With the howling sound of this engine being revved hard in your ears and the wind in your hair you can say to yourself 'Hey man I've arrived....' Yes this Porsche needs to be driven hard as all Porches do! And so what if you annoy any 'less worthy' underachievers sharing 'your' motorway lane whilst your taming this beast, Tough!! If they could sell timeshare like you can then they might have one too!

Porsche Cayman 2.7 Manual
The Cayman offers so much at such a reasonable price! If you want a car that looks the part and drives fantastically well for around £40K look no further. I would recommend to anyone. Take one for a test drive and you will not want to give it back honestly!

Fabulous 4x4 that performs like car. Very roomy. Excellent build quality. Like a 911 for the family.

Porsche 911 Carrera 997
A car that is just as at home driving to the shops as it is on the race track. Having been fortunate enough to drive & be driven around Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedford I can vouch for what an amazing car the new 911 is. A great toy that's easy the drive with fabulous performance AND economy. Sold mine to a friend as a genuine "baby forces sale!".

Porsche Cayman
Nice car, certainly much better than the Audi TT, but by the time you have added a few (essential) toys then you might as well buy the far better 911. If you don't then you will always find yourself explaining to your friends why you didn't buy one. Still a Porsche though.

Porsche Boxster Porsche Boxster 2.7
I’ve had my Boxster now for 10 months and am still enjoying it as much as I did on the first day I took delivery. I’ve had no problems whatsoever and have had 10 months worry free, fun driving. Okay so it’s not the most economical car but for the performance and pure pleasure you get it’s definitely value for money.

If you want a car with real class, with no compromise on either style or power then this is the one for you. Equally amazing to drive on short or long distance this car has so far given me nothing but reliable, pleasurable driving but if you are looking for something economical to run you may want to pass.

This has to be the classic sport coupe, a car I dreamed of owning when I was young and I have to say it really has lived up to the dream. Driving is as powerful and smooth as you would expect, handling is exceptional and overall it’s just a fantastic car to get into every day. Get one and I promise you will not be disappointed!
