Hi Guys,

Thank you for all the input and advice. Here is the update..

Went for 2 test drives today, one with the 2.7 (50000 miles) and 3.2 (39000 miles).

Both beautiful lapis blue with savannah leather, manual transmission.

The test differences were very apparent. 3.2 had the extra horses and you could feel it. I have never driven a Porsche before and driving both gave me a good feel of both cars/engines.

The mileage was also crucial, the 3.2 at 39000 miles felt a lot 'tighter' ;-)

Handling was just amazing. It made me feel like an 'F1' driver taking corners with ease and not throwing myself or the passenger about in the car. It felt harmonious to say the least.

And guys.. I finally got it.. yes that smile you get when you are behind the wheel of a Boxster.

So I have paid the downpayment on the 3.2 S and looking to collect it on Thursday.

Excited, (buyer's remorse might set in soon, probably till Thursday)

Thanks again for all the advice, will post pics once I get the new addition to the family.

Cheers everyone !
