New Boxster review by Grassroots Motorsports
I don't know if any of you get/read Grassroots Motorsports but there is a great article on the new Boxster called "The Perfect Sports Car?"
Here are some quotes that I really liked:
"the six-speed unit in the S is the best transmission we have ever shifted, even besting the first-generation Miata box, the one so many automotive writers mention as the benchmark for great shifting cars"
"Few cars are as confident and rewarding at speed as Prosche's redesinged entry-level gem. Top up or down, the new Boxster is one fo the best sports cars we've ever driven, at any price"
"Only once in the 20-year history of this publication have we seen an automotive manufacturer hit it so right - and that was the new Mazda called the MX-5, or Miata. The Boxster was already a great car, but now it's better."
Overall a very good article...and a very good issue of Grassroots Motorsports. Lots of good stuff.
Cheers!

Any chances to scan so we can see the photos if any?
), and looking for a slightly more realistic daily driver but without losing too much entertainment value. The S2K was the obvious choice, one (big) step towards normality from the Elise: slightly go-karty feel and similar power delivery too. I was pretty much set to get one in fact, but decided to check out the Boxster "just to see what spending an extra $10k would get me..." Felt a little slow after the Lotus so tried the Boxster S. Just right!
