They also got new front and rear fascias with Can-Am style downforce whiskers up front and a nice rear lower apron.
They also eliminated the “scrambled egg” yellow turn signals.
The radio does NOT require a security code, and you have electronic micro switches that open the Frunk and Trunk.
PORSCHE learned a lot over the years and with the competition from the SLK, Z4, Vette, et al, they stepped the Boxster’s game up in 2003.
If she’s just a weekend toy, I’d find any year that fit your budget and felt right.
If you really want to use her for vacations and commuting, get an ‘03/‘04.
Good luck

Thank you for that info. Those last two sentences are something worth thinking about for me. Maybe you're right, as a weekend toy, maybe I don't need all the upgrades that came with the later MYs.
