Reference the 986 vs 996,
1. Have a 1999 Boxster (tiptronic) with 269,000 miles.
2. Saturday, 19 Mar 2016, I purchased a 2000 Millennium Edition 911 with 110,000 miles.
3. I am not comfortable enough with the 911 to toss it around like I am with the Boxster. The Boxster handles like it is on rails. But even with the 18 inch wheels the 911 has a smoother ride than my Boxster with 17 inch wheels.
4. My 911 is a manual and the clutch is rather heavy...much like one on a big block mid-year Corvette or early big block C3.
5. The other big difference between the two is the interior noise. My Boxster is very loud. I attribute that to the engine right behind your seat, the convertible top and the after-market muffler I installed.
Just my two-cents
