Yes, it is a rewarding drive but even as a fan of them I would recommend extreme caution. Take a look at the owners club forum for tales of engine failures and other woes.
I was one of the early owners; when you bought one new in the first year or so you got a free "performance driving day" at the Prodrive proving ground in Warwickshire. 'Twas fun! :mrgreen:
Doesn't sound like either of them are particularly good then. I'm 23 with a clean license with 6 years no claims and I got 5k to spend what would people suggest? Would love another Audi but their so expensive even second hand
Or a Porsche Cayman Gen 1 are cheap as chips.
Out of Porsche warranty so independent servicing is cheap too.
Wouldn't go back to a MCS you will regret it for the bumps bangs and endless rattles.
No it will be my only car so kinda practical but not fantastically practical as don't really need a lot of room. S2000 would be quite nice I guess. It's just the choice of cars is so hard to find a decent one can't find an a3 with less than 100k on the clock for that money either

He ain't going to get a Cayman for ÂŁ5k, Boxster maybe, but not a Cayman.The Boxster isn't a bad choice tbh as long as you live with the prospect of having to get a new engine if it goes bang.
I had an RX8, while it was a great car it did drink fuel. I got shot of it after 18mths as I was fed up with the very poor range. If I was lucky it would get 250 miles on a tank. Whether you were light or heavy footed it didn't seem to matter! I swapped it for a MX5
Thinking of getting an s1 now as it won't be anymore a month than I'm already paying. Opinions on the s1? I'm going down Saturday to confirm details spec and pricing
