Hard to go back
Yesterday I had to drive wifes LR3 and it wasnot a fun experience. After driving only the Boxster for the last month and then stepping up into her land rover. Felt like I was floating all over road had to punch gas to move and then stopping, wow had to stand on brakes to stop.
Ok maybe a little extreme but after the Boxster any other car is not comparable. The handling, braking, acceleration even the sound of the engine. I really love the Boxster and see no need in other vechicles in my driveway. LOL |
I totally agree. I drive my wife's Camry and my daughter's Nissan Xtrail suv and nothing compares to driving my Boxster:dance::dance: I really look forward to the spring when I can open it up a bit and take the corners faster, especially the off ramps. This Boxster costs more to run but it is still worth it. I will have had this car one year in May but cannot conceive of getting rid of it. Real commitment comes in a while when I start spending money on ims and rms replacement and then I know it will be around for several years(5+!?).:)

I have an L322 Range Rover and switch back and forth all the time. I prefer the 986 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and I will take the RR for the school pick up line any day of the week. I love my Porsche but in stop and go driving it is the pits and occasionally I want my wife and my son in the car with me.
I am really curious to see the upcoming Cajun, might become the next daily driver either that or a used Panamera. |

I guess it's having a car to do each job, our LR3 is great for carrying 7 people all over the place or towing 3.5 tons, the Boxster is my personal space :) and is great fun, the wife's mini cabrio is for sunny days as my Cooper S for the track! We also have 3 classic minis tucked away for the future!

I hate driving my Box to work, I work on an Army post so the line to get onto post in the mornings and the traffic on the 5 after work will give your left leg a workout! The X3 is perfect for that job lol

I have the tip and work from home and car- my license plate is "MYOFFICE". So for me it is my space, my fun, I just flat out enjoy the car.
We do use the LR3 for trips with kids. We also have the Mini S it is brand new and not much time in it but it is more the wifes fun car. |

I drive a jeep all winter and a lot of the summer .....and it's a big change when I get into the Boxster and head to the track..a shock actually!
|
i have a 2011 Escape and the 4WD with traction control is unbelievable, I love the thing. As all of you know I'm currently Box-less but I did get the pleasure of giving the sales representative a little of the same treatment Josey Wales got from Fletcher this morning, he'll be talking bout me at the next sales meeting...

Like many here, my Porsche is my fun/toy vehicle. I wouldn't own any primary or secondary vehicle that I didn't appreciate driving. My other vehicle has to have a purpose and be enjoyable to drive - not just exist waiting to be driven. My wife's vehicle is her vehicle and while I would never grab the keys to her Rav4, it is a wonderful vehicle, just not for me. If I didn't have a great Jeep, I would get another Cayenne.
