The Boxster is an excellent car on its own but most potential buyers fall in two categories:
-
Those you want a real performance car for whom the Boxster although fast around bends it is overall not super quick.
-
Those who want a nice summer roadster for whom the Boxster is either too expensive compared to BMW and Mercedes and/or unnecessarily focused on road manners. I believe a girl would be happier in a Z4 due to its easier driving than in a Boxster.
It is a superb product from Porsche but commercially it falls between two extremes. Neither very fast nor cheap and cheerful.
