But what's so special about a Boxster?
To me it's the perfect everyday driver - when you're NOT going shopping furniture.
* Looks. One of the best-looking cars around IMO.
* Ragtop. Great for sunny days and even greater driving experience while maintaining great stability in the chassis.
* Rock steady build quality - will probably outlast most non-sports cars that dont get pushed half as much. At least thats my experience.
* Handling is among the best around. Not as sharp as an Elise, but precise enough to be among the fastest cornering cars around.
* Take it to work in the morning and track it at night. How many cars can do that without getting totally worn out on the track?
* Tho underpowered for political/marketing reasons it handles just as well - if not better than- the 911 according to several car mags.
(Oh dear - I smell a return of the old "911 vs Boxster" war..hehe)
* Surprisingly versatile and useful as an everyday driver. The two trunks, while small, actually holds quite a lot of luggage.
* Economic. Good milage and low service costs.
* Engine sound. The roar at 5000 rpm is just beeeeautiful!
* "Smile on your face"-factor: It's just fun to drive. Plain and simple.
* Only minus is its "entry level Porsche" stigma and relatively weak engine.
