That's a matter of opinion, I've owned both an AP1 and an AP2 S2000 and have driven countless others in various states of modification. The advantage of the S2000 is it's sheer simplicity and the 9000rpm redline of the AP1. The AP2, for me, wasn't as much fun to drive as the AP1.

As for the comparison with the Boxster S, I enjoy the fact it produces 72 lb/ft more torque and 10 extra horsepower, has creature comforts like heated seats and automatic climate control - both nice features in a convertible and lastly, the mid engine, rear wheel drive lay out must truly be experienced to be appreciated. The balance of this car is unlike many other I have driven, including 996 911s.
