Default boxster or S4?????

well, some of you may be familiar with my story:

https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/835448.phtml

anyway, heres the deal: i talked with the head guy over at the dealership who is a great guy and he found me a few S4s to choose from. BUT the dealership is also a porsche dealership and he wants to put me in a boxster (would be getting an amazing deal for all the **** they put me through, around 40k). He even gave me a boxster to drive around till i decide

My initial impressions are this (i know this is getting long): the boxster kills the S4 in handling, its simply so sure footed, u dont even realize ur taking corners at 60+ mph. styling obviously is a personal thing, i personally prefer the S4. and then theres power, where the boxster feels very lacking. The S4 just feels sooo much more powerful, a lot more torque.

Anyway, i didnt mean for this to be a comparison thing but just wanted to know if i should go with a boxster or get another S4. what do u all think

Default Boxster's suck.....

unless you get a boxster S.....I mid-engine design is cool, but lacks true power...also..kind of the Miata of Porsche....

S4 doesn't handle as well....but can come close...c/o.

Get the S4, you'll be happier in the long run

Default Porsche? Aftermarket S/C? I don't think so.....

Boxster is the common man's Porsche...they made it to save the company.

I think you should get both...the Boxster would be a perfect complement to the S4!
