2001 Boxster 3.2 or 2.7?
I want to buy a boxster as my fun weekend car, midlife crisis car and daily commute (30mi).
I figure that 2000-2002 is my desired price range and avoids the cylinder slipping problem of the earlier models.
I want a Manual 5 or 6 transmission.
My question is should I only look for the 3.2l engine model or is 2.7l just as responsive and sporty.
I'm not concerned about racing (...yet) but do like a sporty ride.
How does the 3.2 compare to the 2.7?
I generally think that more HP is mostly a good thing but with an older car I figure I'll get my chance to replace/upgrade the engine later on when its time for an engine rebuild.
Should I also consider the 2.7 or is there something in the model which would make an upgrade later on difficult in some way.
"S" models are a bit harder to find.
Also if you know of a good deal in CA area, let me know, I'm seriously looking but am being cautious due to the whole IMS & RMS scare.
