god this is so much fun.as you all know i have turbo'd it,and after doing so i just carnt stop driving it.it drives so nice,the way the turbo kicks in it just pulls like a train.one thing i have noticed is how much better it is on fuel even though im boosting it quite a bit 20quid go's alot ferther than it did.
one other good thing it still drives like it did with out the turbo,as the turbo dosnt come in till 4000k there is alot of space to take it easy and it isnt on boost at the touch of the peddle.
all in all its what the car should have been like in the first place.
in so happy with it.:thumbup1::thumbup:

Exactly. The 6 speed gearbox helps a lot, change up early for economy and let her rev for power.

I keep on trying to put Heathers MR2 into 6th!! It just feels like another gear should be there.

The MR2 is very quick quicker than the Boxter IMHO, but it will not be going up the 'Pod - it will be parked up looking very pretty something it does very well. We drove past a load of school children (14 yrs????) and the lads all stopped and pointed at Heathers car, one shouted "nice Ferrari" you don't get that in a Porsche, although we were going a little to quickly to educate the lad that it was a Toyota. This car just gets loads of attention everywhere it goes!!
