Budget is up to £15,000

Something Jap but ltd edition? A TVR perhaps? A sporty vaux?

Only criteria is that its has to make you smile when you drive it and think yea 'life is good!'

i voted 'OTHER', id go clio v6 or a white s2000. but i would also consider a vx220T. or even a tvr if i wasnt bothered about reliability.

For me, the Boxter would just be too slow

There is a stage 4 VXT on pistonheads atm running circa 300bhp....that would get my vote

I only see one reason to buy a boxter. Because you don't have the pennys to buy a 911.

the boxters are slow - my dads is nowt special. But they do pull very smoothly, a lot nicer to drive than an S2000 etc.

You dont need 500 bhp in a weekend road car, its way too easy to lose yer license thee days. A boxter or yes even entry level 911 will offer ample thrills. Id want something with a bit of class over out & out pace.
