Boxster?


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Not sure. I did love that Boxter I rented. I'll save a bit more (hopefully) and see where I'm at next year...

I've been looking for a Boxster S/Cayman S for awhile....

But during my shopping I see "blown engine" often enough it still gives me pause...

I looked at an 09 Boxster in Macadamia Metallic. Would have bought it if it was an S because I loved the color so much.

Those brown examples are really nice...especially that 911, but also the Boxster...so many PDKs though. As much as I liked the transmission, I think I'd prefer the manual. I really want this to be a special car since I don't flip cars often...perhaps even a convertible manual 911.

I think I'd go convertible 911 too at this point because I love driving topless in the SC (much more than I thought I would). I even told IQ that for the next while I want to have 1 convertible in the fleet because I like it so much.

I'd be fine with a PDK in a 911, but would want stick in a Boxster.

Yes, I was surprised myself when I had the Boxster...must be an old man thing

Stick or PDK in a convertible 911 works fine IMO. A) PDK is really good B) PDK works with GT mission of convertible 911.

PDK is fine in Boxster...but for that car I'd prefer a stick.

True. I was thinking of getting a PDK 911 convertible for my next rental adventure, that should give me a good idea.
