Default TT vs Boxter S (Money not an issue)

If you had the option of gettting a TT Roadster (225) or a BoxterS which would you chose and why? $'s cannot be listed as a motivator, because at the end of the day $44K vs $55K is not going to break the bank. I would appreciate some feedback because I actually have this option.<p>Nitt

Default flame bait?

I made the 225ttr choice. I almost went the P-word due to
lack of info from my dealer (where is my car?) but I found a
different dealer (Brian Fraize, Hoffman in CT) who had what
I wanted and actually delivered it; I am completely satisified
that I waited for the TT. It's a prettier car (IMHO) and there's
already a gazillion Boxsters of many flavors in the area.

MTM will help make my TT fast enough...

Default Re: TT vs Boxter S (Money not an issue)

To me this is essentially an esthetic issue. The TT's design values are so great compared to nearly all other roadsters that even if the Boxster were $10K less, I'd still get the TTR. It's beautiful, while the others vary from ugly to acceptable. What's the choice? (Red TTR225 due in this week sometime.)<p>MelloA4

Default Well, if money (monetary value) is a non issue.....

then by the car you want. Both have a lot going for them, performance, styling, etc. BTW, Boxter is actually spelled Boxster. Using the correct spelling would make your claim slightly more credible.

Default Boxter exhaust looks like something very nasty, I couldn't drive one!

Default Not meant to bait and wasn't intended as a dumb question

I believe that some people actually like other cars and have an open mind even if they come to this discusion(unlike the Porsche discussions). I like the looks of both cars, but also want a great sports car... tough to get a ride in TT where I live,but I will before dropping $44K+ with Tax and licence. Got good input on looks, and my wife agrees, how about the other stuff like how they are to drive and maintain.

My TT is expected in soon.<p>Nitt

Even if $$$$ don't matter, isn't the Boxster S (with needed options) around 60k?

So, Nitt (picker?:-)), why did you choose the TT in the first place...are those still valid?
