From that I guess you have not driven one??!!

Honestly, drive one, you will never look back!!

I was the same, well, not so much I did not like them, I just never noticed them, never considered them as an option for me.

Here is a nice example I use, when I took it for a test drive it took me 4 braking attempts to find the limit, ie, get them to lock ... I could not believe a car could stop that quick! :shock:

Been in one. Felt like I was a sardine in a can.

Maybe in the future. For now it's going to be the S4 that gets used. Though I think I'll want something with a roof. Maybe an Exige?

You have to drive one first, some of the bike engined Westfields are well worth a look, for the reasons suggested above, a perfect track day tool. fairly cheap to run with little or no loss in value.

You would not run the London marathon in your slippers would you?

think porsche 944

S £4K
S2/£5K
turbo £6k (engine feels bit like s4 engine)
968 £8K (truly fantasic car- comunication and balance)

These cars have done all the depreciateing they'll ever do and youll just squeeze the kids in. I'd buy a bulit proof warranty though!
