If your going to get a Boxster, get the "S".

the boxter is a porsche for the sake of being able to say, "i own a porsche."
its the civic of porsches. lame.

While the Boxster isn't a bad car per se, just save up for the extra five years and get a real one.

i think boxsters look cooler than "real" porsches.

porsches are for jerks who think they're cool, porsche boxters are the low rent version of this type of jerk

I never really liked the boxster myself, I agree about it being a car so people can get just to say they have a porche, although my opinion is also skewed because I think most convertibles, in particular soft tops are ugly to beging with.
The styling of s Carrera or a 911 is so much nicer, and while its not as powerful as some other sports cars I think the styling compensates for it. IMO its way nicer than any of the bmw Z series for example or any American sports car.

you boys can go on and take a left turn to negativeland, but this wicked choice, sorry.

the boxster is very different than the 911. its a roadster, in the classic sense. (designed off their speedster). in fact, the new boxster is the best handling street legal car of ANY type, including the ferrari enzo.
i have a 05 boxster after deciding not to get the 911S. i can afford both. i wanted a real roadster/convertible experience, not a 911 which is just another coupe like any other car.

Yeah I used to think the Boxster was the poor mans 911 but after doing some research in to it it seems its rather a nice car in its own right
I can't really stretch to an S, and the insurance is quite a bit higher but I may well go for the 2.5 version
Any other input appreciated

have you considered the Honda S2000 , cheaper, quicker and less of them around!
- superbaka0
i'll also add then i think the boxster S is a total waste of $. no additional options (virtually) and no visual change to the car (except the badge and cutout in the bumper). $10k for 40 hp and way higher insurance..totally not worth it.

if I had the money I'd be driving an Aston Martin
V12 Vanquish S
