My initial impressions on the Porsche are very good indeed. When I collected it, the car was clean, the tyre pressures correct and even the washer bottle was full! How refreshing to find an honest and reliable private seller.
Driving it back from Essex to London was a pleasure. The car is very responsive in any gear at any speed. The flat six configuration gives it a really smooth and free revving nature too. Sixth gear enables you to cruise along from 30mph – 160+mph and still effortlessly keep up with traffic. This makes progress really effortless. And if you do really want to overtake, just drop it a cog or two and squirt past in a very assured manner.
Ride and handling is also excellent. You get all the feedback you need along with assured roadholding and massive grip. Driving over a coin, you could probably guess if it was heads or tails, yet the ride is surprisingly supple. Indeed, the stiff chassis means that cobbles are dealt with easily. There’s none of the dreaded scuttle shake here. It really is a very elegant and effective setup.
Although SWMBO only had a short trip round London, she is really impressed too. She was very impressed with the comfort of the optional sports seats.
I can’t wait to use the car more to get to know it’s limits and capabilities better. Roll on the weekends away and trips to Europe!
