naa... go for mine mate, you don't need 4 seats, all you want is a driver's car with awesome performance right? the 350Z is the one for you..... ok it's not a roadster..... but the S2000 is getting old now, the RX8 is for families (sorry Adrian

)the boxster is for accountants, saab (saab????) noone buys them, imprezas you see everywhere + there's the scally factor!!!!

only choice really, + voted best CAR 2004 by topgear mag, best drive of 2004 by Autoexpress (if i remember correctly, if not it was another big mag anyway).... go test drive one and then you'll be convinced!

Some nice TVRs available for that sort of money

Or an Elise? OTOH, you probably wouldn't get into an Elise on crutches

he he - I thought he would turn up trying to sell you a Datsun

That'll teach him - a bit harsh though, its not that bad.

I think the 350Z Coupe looks really cool, although the convertible looks crap. The only concern is if it will depreciate rapidly like the 200SX did (then I can buy a two year old one for Â£12k

). If you want good residuals, the Boxster is the only candidate.

Have you considered the new SLK?

Oops: I missed the "no Mercs, I hate them". How about the A4 Cabrio?

ahahahahh oh well you better not find me on any open road (like your RX8 colleague in a grey=primer coloured one did last night) as I'd smoke you so quickly you probably wouldn't have the time to recognize my car....

oh well each to their own.... if you want a family car get an 8

sorry mate, didn't you read the paper(s) a while ago? Zs are so rare and they are so in demand that they worked out that after one year of ownership, depreciation will be ZERO. Also, after 3 years they are given at 62-65% residual, now how's that for little depreciation?????

S2000 out of that list.

Have to agree about the 350Z though - it may be a fantastic drive but it does look odd.
