c'mon, it's so much like the S4. It's got a hole in the roof!

Default Hehe, I just don't like the Boxster in general....

but yes, that 3.6 transplant would be cool.

I say it's the poor man's Porsche because EVERYONE who could barely afford one would get one...I think my mom's lease on it was somethin like 670/month....

Anyhow, yeah, not a fan of the Boxster

Default Even with an upgraded suspension, still cheaper than a boxter S, right?

There you go, a little faster than the S4. And handles better than one too. It's faster than the boxter S, and with the upgraded suspension, will probably handle better than the Boxter S.

Default Get what you want. One HUGE issue is...

that in a Boxster or Boxster S, you cannot recline the seat. So, your passenger is not going to able to take a nap while you go on a long drive. Like they should anyways. But it is something that I didn't think about until a friend's GF told me what she DIDN'T like about the Boxster.

Otherwise, she loved it. They are 2 totally different cars for totally different types of drivers.

You should choose one based on YOUR requirements, not the people on this board.

The same folks told me to choose a 993TT without a warranty instead of a C4s with one. Their brains are totally engulfed in power/drag racing/glory/etc.

Default Not true. I know of a Formula Mazda driver that specifically got a Boxster over a 911 for the

mid-engine configuration.

Default Hehe, so true. Maybe I'll be able to afford a Boxster S as my next car

I've always wanted an open air roadster. My biggest problem is that one of my best friends is a huge F-Body fan and owns a Z28. He laughs when he hears that a Boxster S does the 1/4 mile in 14 or so seconds and still costs $55k+. Little does he know that I will destory him in the twisites.

Hopefully I'll get the Boxster S in two years, or maybe 986 C4S if things go well. We can always dream.

Default Yes, mid engine is cool....

Boxster IMO is ugly...handles well, but needs power...And I just don't like it.....

you aren't alone in thinking the way you do. Except it's not the poor man's Porsche.

Default You do know that the TT is the poor mans RS4. =)

Porsches have so much soul and character. For me it would be a no brainer give the choice.
