I've seen at least 4 Boxsters and 2 Boxter S in the area I live (The Greens), and another 3 Boxsters in the Dubai Internet City. Boxsters are not a rarity here, but then again, neither are Ferraris,...

Man, you do not know how much relief you've just inserted into my life. All this while, I've been worried to death about the engine falling out, and no one else I know has a flat-six, so I've got...

Engine clatter

When driving near a wall, i hear some clatter from the engine, not unlike what an air-cooled engine sounds like. This sound is louder when the engine is colder and gets quieter when the engine is...

Not to mention that he took some jabs at the Cayman cos his producer bought one 'for investment reasons'. Still, I've seen some glowing reviews from him about the 911 and the Carrera GT

Admittedly, I'm pretty much ok with the S2000's dash, and I absolutely adore the shifter, and love the way that every control is within fingertip-reach. Build quality isn't shabby, but the engine...

Kinda hard to look back now. Was wondering if the 911 is any better. Having watched Season 7 of Top Gear last night off my PC, I'm almost convinced that my next car should be a 911 Carrera 2 (987),...

Got bored yesterday and popped by my favourite dealer to test drive a 2004 Honda S2000 (running the F22C1 block), so I thought I'd share my thoughts.

The S2000 is supposed to be one of the best,...
