I would take the time to learn to drive a stick. I think you will enjoy the car more. I agree with Limoncello that automatics have come a long way over the years but for some reason the tip just robs these cars of power. I have a tip and would never own one again. I think if it didn't start off in second gear it would be alot better. That has to be one of the worst ideas engineers at Porsche ever came up with. I know they did it to save gas but this is a sports car not a Corolla!!

If you want to experience the fun of driving any sports car, you gotta learn to drive and get a stick..I suggest borrowing a neighbors car, and save the wear on your new boxster!

You have to consider that we all had to learn at some point. When I graduated I bought a 3 series not knowing how to drive it. It was rocky for the first few days (especially in Pittsburgh) but I got the hang of it. A few automatic cars later I am getting another stick. It just adds so much to the experience...
