re: >>For the winter I would get a hardtop<<
Without a garage, there is no place to store a hardtop.
In Albany, NY I don't need a hardtop - so I think it is a matter of choice. The heater works with a soft or hardtop, the weather is kept out with a soft or hardtop, the engine is noisy inside with a soft or a hardtop(up).
Real differences include A) appearance, B) easy of converting your convertible, C) top storage.
Since I prefer top down driving at 30+ degrees, the soft top is my top of choice. The plastic window can't be operated below about 45 degrees, so I keep my window warm with an electric blanket.
Another choice, as stated above, is not to drive your Boxster in the winter. That is probably smart, but I drive anyway (on winter tires).
