Should be able to get a Boxter of an appropriate age/mileage for that. Up to 30mpg, reasonable insurance, fast enough for most, top down in summer, envious looks from small boys and bigger girls (at least outside London). Reasonable amount of luggage space fore & aft. As long as you want no more than one passenger they are gems.

Better with a Cayman than a Boxster.Originally posted by clearedforlanding View PostIf you can deal with the fact that you will always pander after a 911, it is a great choice.
