I've just bought a 5 year old Boxster 3.4S and I absolutely love it. To the gent who found them dull all I can say is I doff my cap to you sir because you must be used pushing harder than I do to explore a car's limits and I am enthusiastic behind the wheel.
First impressions of fuel economy, really not too bad considering the performance on tap. Every day usability, I was surprised just how much stuff you can get in the two boots. Long items, forget it, but a weekly shop would be possible for the three of us.
Did I want a 911? Sure, who doesn't. If it had been my only car I could have justified the extra money but a 911 as a second set of wheels, nope. Having said that I very much doubt if a 911 would bring me back home with a bigger grin on my mug than the Boxster S.
