I've driven both cars and of the factors that are important to me, the S2000 beat the Boxster on only three - gearbox, reliability and repair cost. Two of those three items are "head" over "heart" issues.

The Porsche beats the S2000 on engine sound, and appearance. I also suspect it will be a little bit safer if you are ever invovled in an accident.

To me, it boiled down to a desire to experience a Porsche once in my life. Used Boxsters with low mileage are available for reasonable prices.

If you really want the Boxster consider: It may cost a little more, but you've been a good boy and you deserve it.
