And yet repeated daily, quite often on this very website.

In some cases he's right but not always. Some modded cars do tend to have a lot more regular problems than non modded cars. Then again, some totally standard cars go wrong a lot.

My 300-320bhp tubby never caused me any problems in the 5 years I had it. I sold it and between the next 2 owners it blew up. :cry:

I'm guessing you'd never be able to stand within 20 feet of a Boxter either because for the money, you could have got a 2nd hand 911?

Same here.. No Alfa's .. Zero tolerance to be honest... Only one I liked was the Alfa 155 touring car saloon thing years back... got in one.. thought it was horrid... V6 Spider had a little get up and go, but again.. crap in my opinion.

Alfa 159 looks a nice bit of kit.. but depreciation !!! :shock:

Boxsters are brilliant cars, balance, build, engines, can't fault them other than needing a bit more grunt :thumleft:
