Like the title says, why don't more people drive Boxsters?
1) Used price is very reasonable, and the body style has remained virtually unchanged
2) Repairs are expensive but they're worth it considering what you're driving
3) Gas consumption is better than most V8s or SUVs, especially with the 2.5/2.7 and a manual
4) 2-seater doesn't haul much, but I see plenty of convertible corvettes, SLKs, Miatas, etc and they have far less trunk space than us
5) The "impress friends/family/strangers" factor is high (at least in the Midwest) compared to any other vehicle in this price range, especially when purchased used
Perhaps the strangest part: even people that know exactly what this car costs used are impressed by it and want to drive it
"wow" story:
My dad was driving my Boxster while I sat in the passenger set on Saturday. We were driving through a small town with the top down and two 12-14 yr old boys were standing in front of a corner diner talking. As we slowed to take a turn I heard one say "Whoa, a Porsche!" I waved as we turned and they started cheering. We got a big kick out of that, made us feel like celebrities for a minute
