Most disappointing car you've driven?

[Gareth]

For me the Boxter is disappointing the "S" far better but better still the Caymen S. [...] Get a bend slightly wrong and the car will sort it out for you.

But it's a lot of fun getting bends right in an S

[martine]

Boxsters and Caymans, especially the 'S' versions, can let an adequate driver delude themselves into believing they have a measure of greatness ... and an appropriate Alfa can put them back in their place

I'll not argue on that point.

I don't understand this Boxster bashing. I think its lovely.

Is the car Stressed D doesn't like a Z4M? I really liked that too.

I like pretty well all cars.

On a smooth road it's pretty good. On anything English the tendency for the rear end of the car to spend large amounts of time not in contact with the road surface makes it a sh*tter.

FTFY. It was rather good in Scotland, and the Welsh roads aren't bad either

[waremark]

I cannot have driven it quickly enough to expose the weaknesses!

I tend to agree and especially the basic 2.7 which has ample but not too much power. It is coupled with a good gearchange. I wouldn't go for the PDK gearbox myself.
I think that the problem with a lot of cars is that they can be specified or come as standard with extra large wheels; these can wreck the ride and handling of an otherwise good car.
I know that some makers and Porsche may be one of them that fit the larger wheels to UK cars as we tend to like them; why I cannot imagine with our rough and irregular road surfaces.

[Angus]

Ha - yes I know what you mean but then again...it seems a bit perverse and you might as well go for a bad handling, slow, unreliable...errr Alfa anyone?

(sorry - that was a joke)

IT HAD BETTER BE

Yours is a modern one. None of those bad things apply!

My daughters R53 Cooper S with 17in rims, run flats, and sports extra suspension is like a b****y go kart, and on our pot holed uneven roads is very skittish. To be honest the stiffness spoils the fun.

I appear to be one of the very few young'uns who appreciate and value ride comfort much more than being able to take hairpin bends at 1895737.6 mph.

I'm more into Range Rovers rather than Lambo's.

A nice tuned SC 5.0l RR should do then

Clearly there was a misunderstanding.

I meant to say I'll have a Lambo any day, but if I was offered the choice between a Range Rover, or a Lamborghini, I'd take the Rangie!

Alasdair

I really want 2 Range Rovers, a 5.0 SCV8 and the 4.4 TDV8, then take them both to be discreetly overfinched.
Petrol for making a racket, diesel for mile-munching.

Then I'd grab myself a Defender, and take that to be overfinched too.
This'll be my about town car

Then I'd search out a massive SUV hybrid with a V8 petrol so I can chug into central London free of charge

Oh and a Jaguar XKR convertible with a V8 for those summer days!

That would be my perfect garage.
