... I totally disagree.
The "S" model is obviously more powerful and generally more refined (because they are newer models) than the early 2.5s or 2.7s, but there is nothing better than to pass a Boxster S or a 996 on the track with a measly 2.5, or to hang on a Boxster Spyder's rear bumper in a great mountain road with the same measly 2.5 liter engine.
That's satisfaction.
With the higher HP, the "S" is easier to drive, but not more satisfying.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
