Hello, Snipershot and welcome to the forum.

I just went through this process myself over the past couple of months. I ended up with a 2004 S. This "new" car replaces a 1995 Miata that was supercharged and lowered on a track-ready setup. To me, it seemed the base Boxster was only slightly faster than the Miata up to 100 MPH and did not handle as sharply. The S model handles about the same as the Miata (but leans more), is more composed on bad pavement, and is significantly faster to 100. I can't speak to anything over 100 since I don't go there. (My license still has speeding points on it.)

Best of luck with whatever you choose.

Cheers,

Dave
