what kinda thing would you guys go for?
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!'

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.
