an experience that few cars can match. The Boxster S in particular, in my experience, is a great and fun car to have. A big con of course is price, but then again, you should expect this in a Porsche. You may want to try out the Honda S2000. It is another very fun Roadster - with without a aftermarket Supercharger it is also very fast...

the s2000 to be a great bang for the buck roadster.

but the all out ergonomics, and heightened level of feel that is associated with the boxster s is just unparallelled (unless you really wanna spend some $$$).

I'd consider the boxster with 217 hp, but know that it's not the same, the S class really is a diff.

I like my torque, power, and quiet interior.

But her's is fun for running around town on a sunny day with the top down. It's way different to drive, the engine is so smooth and loves to rev. Shifter is nice too. :-)

it makes it really tough to give that up to a spinning type motor!

However, I've heard from very credible sources (the assistant manager at the Porsche dealership) that the boxster S is one of the most driver-oriented cars in production... followed by lots of praising of its handling and design.

Actually I'm friends with that particular assistant manager, and he is a fair driver, and a credible source. I'm just a little sick of the boxster since I see more of them than VW Beetles around her (Malibu, Westlake, Santa Barbara).

just my $.02 from a bystander's position.

I would agree. a little too common place. but I'm always considering it as a second car. Sure I could do the M roadster but too tiny and I want the one with 315 hp!

the porsche is just a blast to drive(especially with the engine behind you!) as I'm sure you know.

I'm just looking for a pure play roadster/sports car.

I simply cannot get over how much I love my S4 after 7 months and some 18,000 miles. It's just everything I want. I'd just like to have a smaller one to play with every now and then.

a RWD 2 seater is a fun car to have no matter what it ends up being (well almost);0)

Ahhh, designed by my fellow classmate at Art Center College of Design, Grant Larson (a great design)

um work with me here, what am I missing????

...I just felt like taking advantage of your mention and say that I went the #1 automotive design school and studied with the designer of the Boxster. That's all. I've seen way more over the top and off subject reply posts than mine, that's for sure. Hope this helps you understand my non-answer to your question but, Boxster realated reply post.

There are no rules on this forum... okay, maybe a few.
