Not had many issues with traction, but find that booting it from first into second into slightly greasy conditions coming out on to a curving road from roundabout can be excessively exciting! Loss of traction, rear and front drifting and had to back off to re-engage traction... Big jolt when traction re-engaged but no out of lane experiences fortunately. Best take care with one of these machines...

Yes Danny I was raised in the UK and now live in Canada. If I lived in the UK I would drive an Mx5 Miata or a Boxster for sure. Why? Most of everything else there is small.

Like most of the other posters say watch out for wet roads, ice patches and also gravel on roads.

I would get the Boxster most unsettled on wet roads, roads with puddles. Summer tires without much tread are a challenge. Don't drive on slick tires. This is a fun car.
No psm watch out. Even with psm watch out! I take it easy on corners especially snowy/ icy conditions. In summer with perfectly dry conditions I push it.

If you lose it on a corner and damage the car, it is expensive to fix. Take care!
