They arent, until you drive somethign else for similar money then, as you say, they seem pretty dull... awesome if you need the extra seats mind
Nice car for a day to day car and long journeys but I was seriously bored in a 40 min test drive especially with a tosser salesman telling me how fast they are etc etc

I agree with AK, get a house.
I had 16k in the bank and blew £13k on an Impreza, this was when house prices were very affordable.
Now I've got an Impreza worth £6k and can't afford to move out.
I'd think very carefully before spalshing £25k on a car.

he obviously doesnt want to buy a house, he wants to spend the money on a car, if i had 25k in the bank i wouldnt buy a car cos it would be all my money gone, he obviously has more than that!
would i fuck buy a house nowadays anyway, house prices will fall and if they get any higher theres no point mortgaging because you'll never pay it off anyway!
few houses in my family which are paid for and will come to me within 20 years anyway

You've got to run it for that money, my advice would be to look at fuel, insurance and servicing costs of the £25k Porsche. No good using all the money to buy it if it's a grand to insure and tyres and a cam belt next year cost the same again.

Benelli Tornado 1130cc.
180mph
60 in around 3.
Terrific Triple engine note.
Brand new, and have £10k left over for porn, been, and hookers.
No car for £25k will come close 
In seriousness, £25k is a lot, i'd look at a Monaro, or even importing a Fold Falcon in. Beefy man engines, none of this turbocharged lark.
For £25k i wouldn't got for any porsche at all. But then again, i wouldn't spend £25k on a car either, not unless I was earning a silly amount more. I'd go on holiday, round the world, take a year out and see the life out there insted of spunking it all on a bit of aluminium

Guys he said he has 25k for a car, he didn't say that he has 25k fullstop. What's to say he's not got 100k and is spending a quater of it on a car, a quater on a deposit for a house and the remaing half in the bank?
