    911 Cabriolet or Boxster S ?

    Recently received my dealers license and will be scouting the auctions. I will be in the market for a "2002 911 Cabriolet or a 2005 Boxster S. The reason for my dilema is that both used models come in close to the same price...give or take a few dollars. Does anyone have a opion on which model and what to keep an eye out for in the way of problem areas. Love this site-Thanks

    You may want to ask this in the non-Ferrari forum.

    Re: 911 Cabriolet or Boxster S ?

    FWIW, i'd buy the later Boixster S

    Re: 911 Cabriolet or Boxster S ?

    I'd go boxster too. Get a S with the 3.4. It's a great car. Looks better roof down IMHO...

    Re: 911 Cabriolet or Boxster S ?

    The Boxster is a natural and balanced roadster
    The 911 an ugly chopped-top version of the coupe
    as far as engine goes, 911 still have the edge but you'll be pleased by the S 3.4 as Jeannot said

    Re: 911 Cabriolet or Boxster S ?

    I would prefer the Boxster S anyday - for the same reasons stated by amstaff. The Boxster S was designed from scratch as a mid-engined roadster. It's perfect for that purpose. Top down driving in twisty roads is all about fun [the Miata/Mazda MX5 proved that you don't need big bhp to have fun]. The 911 coupe is the iconic shape and IMHO, it's roofline is utterly ruined when the top was sliced off to make the 'humpback' 911 cabriolet.

    The 911 coupe is better for track use than a Boxster S due to, amongst other things, greater stiffness and more power.

    The only disadvantages IMO with the Boxster S are 1) poor legroom for taller drivers (since the seats can't go back as far as they do in a 911) and 2) no rear seats.

    Just my view...

    Re: 911 Cabriolet or Boxster S ?

    C2S anyday.

    Re: 911 Cabriolet or Boxster S ?

    Carrera... no doubt!
