If you are considering a used M Roadster don't hesitate.
Reliability - I had 10 months of absolute trouble free motoring.
Performance - There is nothing in this price bracket (outside of jap turbo'd dog poo) that delivers this much fun for the money. 100bhp per litre from normally aspirated engine that can complete 3 laps of the Nürburgring and deliver you to your front door without missing a beat. If you were to be challenged, which you won't be, there is very little that will embarrass you at traffic lights. After owning an Elise, I'd had my fill of baseball cap wearing fcuk wits challenging me.
Image - The car is entirely classless, you could turn up at a 5 star country retreat or a burger van in Peckham and be greeted with smiles.
Practicality - It's a two seat super car and hence the reason she had to go, but still way better than a Boxster or Elise.
Residuals - Performed better than my ISA in the same period!! Mine was a low mileage mint example (most are) and didn't cost me a penny in depreciation. Sold for more than I paid.
I will miss the Z more than any other car I've owned, now having to look at "normal cars" that can carry a mountain bike / snowboard and sometime in the future a little person
Go buy one, then take me out in it!
