I did a lot of research before I bought mine, and I've driven a lot of cars, street and track -- Miatas, Vettes, Mustangs, etc. Personally, nothing compares to the Porsches I've tracked, and to me, the mid-engine Porsches are supreme -- very close to the organic feeling of the open-wheel formula cars I've driven. The "smiles per mile" in a Boxster or Cayman is a totally intangible value that's hard to calculate when you consider the purchase. I'll never forget the look on my wife's face the first time she drove our Boxster. She turned to me and said: "We have to buy this car!"
In reality, it's a tough decision. These are incredibly impractical cars. But if practicality was all that mattered, we'd all be driving a Prius!
+1 on the Bentley Manual. It's very good.  |
By the sound of it you where in the same position as i am at this moment. There is no real good reason in getting one. Its just that after driving one i sort of really really want it.
I guess its going to be down to what impression the 2.5 is going to make compared to the 2002 3.2 S i drove before that made me want to get the boxster

Woaahhh nice!
