Recently , my sister in law asked if I could help her in the purchase of a 2012 Porsche Boxster S .. More than happy too was my reply .. So I set out talking the talk, and walking through the urgly process - all too familar with sales persons .. Having sat through many demo drives , I finally arrived at a 2012 Porsche Boxster - held by a elder lady with just over 10,000k's and having been equipped with 19' and low profile tyres from new . The drives through the streets and freeways of Melbourne , provided a exhilarating driving experience , both in 'normal' mode and again in 'sports plus'. - Real pocket rocket with go kart qualities .. - Sold !!! Now ..........over the weekend , I was luckly to be the co driver in the Porsche on a trip to Swan Hill , and boy , from the get go, that suspension quality that I fell in love with during the demo drive , was soon the topic of discussion for 3 hours for all the wrong reasons .. You felt all the flaws in the road , and shook the car from one bump to the next - You felt the drive through the leather seats and through the steering wheel. It was only when you passing cars at 150k's , that you appreciated the solid drive. I can recall thinking during the demo drive , I should drop the bat mobile (GT335) , and look to improve its stance and road handling , however , having endured 6 hrs in the Porsche , I am pleased to say , I think I will shelf that idea .. I think I now know why the elder lady sold the car .. hahaha. My daughter recently sold the Honda Civic Type R for the same reasons.. Is there any way - you can retain the current stance of the car, but give you some softness , compliance during higher highway speeds ??
