Einstein by name but not by nature obviously. It would be hypocrisy, not contradiction.

Read the text i say the s2000 is better to drive in my opinion.
As i said i have a dog so therefore estate is a must, and wats a 22b £20k ish, good job im looking at a rs4 avant next but still deciding. I should start a thread asking what estate i should get for £20k ish mark.
But then id probably get u butting in with ur silly remarks.
Not replying to u anymore im older than that.

And yes lotus elise would be an intresting toy

The original poster has been a little sketchy with his requirements aside from the fact that he only needs two seats. Most of the suggestions (good ones too) are being dismissed. Come on Tenby what are your specific requirements?
Cheers mate

Dont bother with him mate let him rant on, its obvious hes one of them...

And your wrong ive driven them both cos i was gonna buy myself until we got a dog so i opted for a waggon
Boxster is a nice car to drive but quite heavy handed car with clutch, steering etc and not quick enough for me personally. Its just the badge that people go for, but without a turbo then its not a proper porsche to me
S200 is good in a lot of ways very driver freindly and responsive with the jap chasis and very pleasing when u floor it, and u can floor it all day long and u wont get any problems with the engine straining all the time. So a good car in my opinion.
So in future leave ur immature comments to urself and stay on topic cos ur only showing urself up
What? Again in English please.

My Porsche 911 doesn't have a turbo, so that negates it from being a Porsche? You really have no clue Sunshine.

This is getting a bit silly fellas. Bustamoves does say that it's not 'a proper Porsche to him'. That's his opinion he's entitled to it.

I know ur only protecting ur car but I PERSONALLY would NOT buy a porsche without a turbo, its NOT a porsche to ME
A porsche to ME has to be super fast if im spending all that money on one i.e a turbo or twin lol even better
Most porsches are 911 base

Please read msgs clearly before jumping the gun, these were MY opinions only not facts

Exactly how many 911's have you driven?

If you could refrain from the "txt-spk" it would make life a lot more pleasant. There are no character limits here, punctiation is free & "ur" isn't a word in the dictionary.

Getting back to real Porsches, Turbo 911's are great, if you have the money to buy & run one, because running & maintaining one are fvcking expensive - that bargain £20k 996 Turbo you are promising yourself is going to gobble money faster than a crack ***** on a 48 hour bender.

Turbo'd Porsches are quite boring to drive.

Give me N/A anytime.

Just my opinion, obviously.

I'd hazard a guess that he hasn't driven that many.

My best mate has just bought a Carerra 2S and its superb in everyway.

I'd of happily swapped my 600bhp Impreza for it. All the fun without any of the hassle!!

If i didnt have the money to buy a turbo then (I) simply wouldnt buy one. And ive always loved porsches. I was going to buy a 2.7 boxster a while back but didnt because i tend to kick myself wishing i wanted a diffrent one.
But thats just me and not tending to offend anyone. So please porsche lovers CHILL!

Apologies to op.

Clearly you have no clue. Quoting from the dictionary will not make you correct. The act of contradiction never took place, even by that description you have copied and pasted. Go away.

Hypocrisy: "the practice of claiming to have higher standards or more noble beliefs than is the case"

Contradiction "deny the truth of (a statement) by asserting the opposite"

Porsche 996 convertible everytime...

Buy shrewdly and when your done with it you could sell for the same money..Despite NOT having a turbo,they still have 300bhp and will wipe the floor with many a scoob..

A cheap boxster 3.2S will give massive thrills per pound spent,but watch out for residuals..

I won't repeat my opinions of the 996 but if you can get a decent elise then get one, far and away the best handling car I have ever driven by 8 million miles. I don't have one because about 5-6 years ago I sold a 111s for £6500 and since then they have gone up in value and I will be too gutted to buy the same car again for more money.

Wow, what a b1tch fest of a read that was.

Always fancied an elise and very nearly bought on a few years ago, i'd only consider it as a weekend toy, but would sell my left nut for an exiege.

Vx 220 turbo, supposed to be the car the elise should have been, but again i'd imagine hard to live with on a day to day basis.

Z3m or Z4 possibly, but i'm not a big bmw fan.

S2000 for me, go anywhere across europe in style and comfort, and no worries about mechanical problems, and tuning potential is endless, as well as being a great drive.

Oh and my best mate has one, and i love it.

Z4 3.0 easiliy for 10K might even get you the later 260bhp one v's the earlier 240bhp

The S2000 is more raw, but the Z4 was a much nicer place to be and felt quicker because of the torque from the straight 6 which is a wonderful engine.
