To ask the question is to miss the point. Both are great cars... very different cars.

That "nice young man" from overseas sure struck a nerve with his uninformed opinion did he not. Ed

Talking

Well, I just got out of a 2005 smart ForTwo diesel and into a 2000 Boxster.

They are both great cars, worth about the same and each does some things better than the other. The things they have in common are: shop rates for maintenance, they seat 2, have similar safety features and both can hold a shopping cart full of groceries.

And both make me smile when I drive them.

I'm not saving the planet anymore, but that's never been why I buy a car in the first place. If I like driving it, and I can justify the expense - then I buy it.

I was actually looking for a good ~1967 912 when the boxster came my way.

Am I too poor to purchase a 959? Ummm, yeah.

You weren't saving the planet with your last car but you may have been saving some gas.

You must look way better in the box. Glad you came to your senses.
