Two seat sports car - what would you recommend?
I have a budget of around £4-5k and am looking to buy a sports convertible from a choice of the following:
1. Porsche Boxster - Which would be my ideal choice really, but your engine block comments scare me quite a bit.
2. BMW Z3 - Not too keen on the E30 suspension though and you only give it 2 stars!
Audi TT - You give this one 4 stars but list a lot more "bad" stuff than the Z3 oddly
Toyota MR2 - More of a head than heart choice, just not keen on design and image
I am a keen driver aged, 58 and intend to use the car daily and probably keep till one of us dies.
Would be really grateful for your opinion based on my above comments (and yours of course!)
Enjoy your DT column and website greatly by the way - first class!

You missed the MX-5 from yourt list, which is the obvious choice in this price bracket.
A Boxster or a TT could turn out very expensive in repairs and replacements.
A Z3 isn't really a sports car. It's a two seater roadster.
