I owned a 1988 S4 928 for about 12 years. Did extensive modifications and upgrades over that time, including stroking the engine to 6.4L.

+ massive, tire smoking torque is intoxicating
+ cruises comfortably all day long
(drove Portland to San Francisco in 1 shot many times)
+ superb high speed handling

- affordable only if DIY maintenance
- limited aftermarket/performance parts
- has become dated technologically

I have many fond memories of the 928, but I really appreciate the Boxster now. Other than both being excellent examples of German automotive engineering. the two cars couldn't be more different.
