Given the OP's lack of response, I suspect he wasn't planning on spending £25k+

Well, we did ask for the budget early on.

Vauxhall Frontera?

Yep, el cheapo turbo ...

The only difference between normal Carrera and S is the level of turbo boost...

Ah fair enough. I thought it was a 3.4 vs a 3.8 (similar to the Cayman v Cayman S going from a 2.7 to a 3.4)

Hello,

Can you advise out of these which SUV is good - HONDA CRV(Old design), VOLVO XC60, VW Tiguan or any other ?

Thanks

Whatever you decide to buy, make sure you get the optional minigun attachment....

4WD, good engine (beats the M4 around the Nürburgring by 13 seconds)

Nice.

I agree. Sat in a 911 4S in November in the showroom. Soooo tempted but didn't have a spare 100k despite being cut out to be a contractor (don't judge, you haven't met the enemy).

GT4 looks very nice

But it's no 911...

911 Turbo S - £145k base price, no options
911 Turbo - £127k base price, no options

That said, you could get the Cayman GT4 for 65k

Can't tell I'm missing my Porsche can you?

£90k base price of X5M, probably £110k with a few options added.

911 Turbo - £120k base price.

Very different cars though.

Yes, but you're not dropping £165k for an X5M.

X5 M is 4 secs to 60.

Some 911s, yes, but not top of the range which can do <3 sec.

Surely you'd go for the 4.4 X5 M? Outruns a 911 on the 0-60 stakes.
