I have both in my garage,01' S and 01' 3.4 Carrera.

Too similar. The 3.4 has torque that (unless extensively modified) the 3.2L will never touch. Interior,same go figure. Front half of the car is the same...Both have stupid electronic features that drive me crazy. In 6 years of driving these cars I hardly ever turn on the stupid AC and when I do it's a pain in the ass trying to find out which of the 20 buttons I should press to turn it on. Each has their own feel,that's for sure though. The Boxster is fun to just cruise in,but the Carrera has prestige that is admired by onlookers everywhere of any age.

My Dad loves his Carrera,I love my Boxster. To each their own.
