That said, good car. Just not as agile and manoeuvrable as a shorter wheelbase, mid or rear engined Porker.

Well engineered go carts. That's what Porsches are.

Take your pick of acknowledged compromises.

Probably about a month. I could have had a black or grey quicker but wanted white or silver. The blue isn't very nice and grey is better with the black roof. Pearlescent is rather fetching and lovely shade of white. It has a lustre

Apparently white is the In colour according to my daughter

It drives well and little body roll but it's not a sports car for sure. Lol. But yes, it's quite unique in style. Ive rarely if ever seen one around here.

Why white, though? For me, it's one of the most boring colours for a car..... It looks equally as uninspiring clean, as it does dirty!:rolleyes:;)

A nice metallic gun-metal grey, blue or red would've been far nicer, IMO.

I like the white personally. It's black leather inside so wanted the contrast The top level gets purple fabric so decided on the excel as a good compromise

No worries, mate. Enjoy, it's a nice car:cool:

Dunno about that. Matt finishes mark easily and require careful cleaning. Nigh on impossible to properly colour/finish match after a bump too.

well not full matt but not as bright as full gloss. ive seen it on cars before.. maybe satin is closer.
