So, what else did you consider....
Last time I ended up buying a Boxster I test drove a number of cars the same day before making my decision: SLK320, TTR, BMW 330Cab.
This time gone straight for the Boxster but have just come back from a spin (not literally) in a SLK350 - got to say mightly impressed. Had an auto box witch as a rule I generally hate but if I was to get one of these I would consider it - a 7sp jobby. Took it on the twisties too and handled well (had the optional sports suspension).
Gadget most impressed with - the airscarf, it really worked even on the Motorway and slightly
more than legal speeds (unless you are in law enforcement and then very well up to 70mph)

I had driven a BMW z4, abysmal ride, didn't like the styling inside or out, a 3 series pram not me really. And it meant continuing the relationship with My Favourite Garage. Also tried an Elise 111-R which was brilliant fun but I think the novelty would wear off, too hard core for me. 
TVR - not convinced about reliability. Looked at the Audi TT V6 but as I am neither an estate agent or a hairdresser I didn't qualify 
, something fast most likely!!!!!
