I have driven both, and you don't know what you're talking about.

I bought the Boxster S over the Solstice because of the Boxster S's power level (a used Solstice GXP would have been several thousand dollars more than what I paid for the Boxster) and because the Solstice/Sky twins have virtually no usable luggage space. But even the base Solstice I drove handled comparably to the Boxster.

I also chose the Boxster S over:

- the S2000 because I wanted some usable torque;
- the Miata because I wanted some power, period;
- the 350Z because I can't stand the looks of the droptop Z;
- the Z3 because of the Z3's rear suspension point failure issues;
- the Z4 because I just liked the looks of the Boxster better; and
- the C5 Corvette because I can't stand the Fisher-Price radio and climate controls.
