The compact drop-top Porsche made its production debut in 1996 and quickly established itself a reputation for being a superb roadster, and one that was a delight to drive. Vital statistics (Monaro 5.7): 5.7-litre eight-cylinder petrol engine, 333hp, 0-62mph in 5.7 seconds, top speed 160mphīut if it’s not outright speed that’s motivating your next purchase, and you’re more just looking for a quick, enjoyable and fun car, take a look at a first-generation Porsche Boxster. It might just help you avoid a nightmare later down the line, should it transpire that the car you’ve got has been wrapped around a tree at some point in the past.
You do need to buy carefully, though, as they are getting to the age where rust can be a real problem – and, like the other cars here, make sure to get a history check on any example before buying it. Unlike some alternatives, it’s also a comparatively straightforward car that’s easy to look after and, if you’re so inclined, upgrade.
Monaros have never been common either, so you’ll find the subtle two-door coupe garnering a lot of the right kind of attention when it’s parked up. It’s no pin-sharp sports car, feeling distinctly hefty and muscular, but it’s a car that’ll put a smile on your face when you squeeze the accelerator.
The result was a plush, comfortable coupe that could dash from 0-62mph in 5.7 seconds and, flat out, reach 160mph.

The big coupe landed in 2004, featuring a 5.7-litre V8 and a six-speed manual gearbox, which delightfully channelled all 333hp and 343lb ft of torque from the engine to the rear wheels.
