I bought this car for my wife, to replace the 380SL.  Unfortunately we made the mistake of thinking the Tiptronic would be better for around-town driving in LA.  Actually, its just boring.  I'm sure a lot of people love their Boxsters but between the Ferrari and the Mercedes this car has become the red-headed stepchild and I just don't drive it.  My wife got a dog, and the dog got a Jeep, so she doesn't drive it either.  Sort of hanging on to it until I get our new house sorted, and then will trade it for something I actually want...

I`ve owned 911`s, a 924 & a couple of 944`s, the Boxsters a good choice with excellent handling, but isnt as well built as the old school ones.

It felt cramped, it didn't get up and moved like I think a sports car should, and the final insult is that it sounds like a leaf blower when driving down the street.  I know its the entry level car but they really need to work on it if they want someone stepping up from a Miata to want this.

Mid-engined layout makes for amazing handling and balance. More naturally poised than a 911.
3.2 litre has plenty of everything.
Like all Boxster/911's it is at home on a racetrack - somewhere 99% of road cars show their inadequacies.
