A fantastic all round sports car, this little beauty can go from 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds and on a long straight will carry you along at up to 190mph. It has four-wheel drive and enough room for all the family, making it a practical choice that still offers a lot of fun and excitement whether you are cruising along or taking it out for a spin.Turbo SThe Turbo ran from 2000 through to 2005 as a coupe, cabriolet and then the Turbo S was introduced with a whole heap of upgrades. Exterior styling is smooth and unique with headlights that have quite a marmite effect – you either think the unusual design is a positive change from the norm, or wish they were classic and circular in shape.As well as being fun to drive, the price of these \u2018classic\u2019 Porsche 911s won\u2019t put you off, as they are surprisingly affordable both to buy and run.Once you take a seat you\u2019ll find it is rather comfortable and there is full leather trim on later Turbo S models. This car was popular from the get go and whilst it isn\u2019t the most collectible Porsche around it can still go toe to toe with many of the big stars of the supercar world and leave them in the dust.Among the modifications found on the 911 Turbo are flared sills and a tail spoiler; this activates when you hit 75mph, a nifty little feature as far as we\u2019re concerned. Porsche also provide an optional five-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox that makes traffic even more fun than when using the usual manual 6-speed gearbox.Is this your favourite Porsche 911 model or is there an even better one out there that we\u2019ve missed?
