thanks for the thoughtful replies. head v. heart argument has some merit, except that the s2000 is an absolute blast to drive--it was comparable to the '06 s in terms of fun, so i don't know what i'll think compared to an '01. comparing it to a civic just means you haven't driven it. i REALLY like both cars, and am excited that i have have a chance to have a "problem" like this. since this is to be my daily driver, i am concerned about highway wind/engine noise. city driving doesn't concern me--low torque is relative, and there's still plenty to get from a to b. both the s2k and boxster have very good crash test ratings, though i wouldn't want to meet a suburban at highway speeds in either one. so now, of course, there's the issue of finding what i want. an '01 s in silver/black, for a reasonable price, in reasonable driving distance from me, is not easy to find (anyone in the birmingham or new orleans area want to take me for a spin?).
