I wouldn't want to drive a Boxster in a lot of stop and go/low speed situations. The owner's manual states that you should shift down at 1500 rpm, but I try to stay above 2000 when the car is in gear.
The last mile or two of my commute to work (and the first mile or two on my way home) is on a military installation where speed limits are strictly enforced. So, I don't fool around. I find that I can drive at 30 mph in third gear, but it just feels like the wrong kind of driving for this type of car.
