Hello,
I finally bit the bullet and much to the amusement of my mates bought a Porsche. (The amusement being they all drove them and I didn't, having prefered M Sport Beemers myself)
So far so good. Handling is abs fantastic, esp in the recent wet weather and the performance pretty good - though I suspect the Turbo would make me smile more but given this car will be used for a daily commute of 140 miles of mixed motorways and A roads and an average of 4 hours a day in the car, I am so far really impressed with it. The only gripe I really have is that it seems my 3 year old son has a bigger bladder than this car has a fuel tank. Fuel econ is good at +24mpg, but I really struggle to get anything over £40 in the tank - so basic maths gives me around 220miles a tank. An ex Porsche owner informs me that you can get a bigger tank fitted. I will probably keep it for two years or so so this maybe a vaiable option to have done.
Has anybody heard of this? and if so would I lose boot space?
Many thanks...
