What I don't understand is what a Honda Civic has to do with anything? How does a Honda Civic that you don't own or drive impact the feel and dynamics of your Boxster?

This statement is very odd, too:

"I have yet to drive a car that's more fun than that, but it's not a car I would ever own because... let's be honest, it's not very fast."

How does that make sense? I infer from this you prefer faster. But I also infer that faster for you doesn't equal more driving enjoyment or fun. As you say, you've yet to drive a car more fun that the BRZ/86.

If you don't enjoy "faster", what benefit is it giving you? Are you mainly worried about what other people are doing?

Again, this is where I say you are close minded.
Enjoying a car while driving is fun. Being able to do it while going faster will always be better.

You may not care that your car is slow as hell as long as you're having fun driving it. But to me, speed is everything.

Sorry, but you are contradicting yourself. You say you haven't driven a car more fun than a BRZ, but you wouldn't own it because it's not fast.

Then you say going faster will always be better. That speed is everything! So, speed is everything but you haven't driven a car more fun than a BRZ, which is slow. Do you not see the contradiction?!

Also, if speed is everything, neither a 996 or a 986 is even close to being the best bang for your buck. You need to go buy something with a turbo and get it chipped / remapped.

At the track, my boxster s was better, but in terms of day to day comfort, my 911 won. It was a little wider (like me) and much softer of the bumps.

Hmm.. I get why you are confused.

Perhaps you could relate it to marrying a good wife as opposed to marrying a porn star. Which would be more fun?

EDIT: Also, I have something turbocharged and fast. It's my WRX
