No regrets, but if we're gonna go into shoulda-woulda-coulda territory, I'd say a Lotus Esprit...ergonomics be damned.

I did buy a Lotus Esprit, so I now have the 99 Boxster and a 93 Esprit. The ergonomics of the Esprit is the least of it's problems. The shifting absolutely sucks, not to mention there is no power steering. That combined with basically no rear view means no parallel parking either, so you need to be very picky about where you go.

The Boxster is MUCH more fun to drive. But the Lotus is so rare and looks so good.... :roll eyes:
