Question is, what are they like to live with. Will still be using it as a day to day car going too and from work (about 90 mile round trip).

As a soft top, what are they like for keeping wind/water out?
What is fuel economy?


Any advice welcome

Get one, but IMHO not a boxster. May I suggest one of the last air cooled 911's (3.6 flat six, 280bhp) around M reg, for your budget you may stretch to get a really good model, but you won't be disappointed.

If you pick the right model, a Porsche will provide as reliable a super car as one good wish for.

Soft tops are all typically well engineered, and fuel a econmey not bad at all, say 20-26mpg ish.

I am sure other peeps will be along soon.
