The Boxster is also my DD.

I work at home 4 out of 5 days, so I don't have much of a commute although I do use the car everyday (coffee runs, grocery .. ect) and on weekends. I put about 8000 miles of love on her every year, and am perfectly happy with only one minor complaint.

What annoys me about the Boxster as an everyday car is that it seems to take a bit longer than most car to warm up enough for me to start driving without feeling like I abuse the car (when the RPM actually drops from 1200 to 800 ish). Even then, those first few shift until the car fully warms up is still a bit notchy.

So those `quick` trips to the coffee shops takes about 10 to 15 minutes instead of 5 or 10, although I have a blast driving it.

My 2c.
