Porsche's are less common in Canada than the USA. Very few know the difference between a Boxster and a 911 and the perception that the Boxster is a 'woman's' car, is totally foreign to me. And when push comes to shove, only an F1 driver could pilot a car other than a Boxster, through a series of curves as fast as I can, in my S.:dance:

I sometimes think that my Boxster is too good. It covers every mistake I make and makes it too easy to go too fast ( for the street), and that's without PSM! That's why I need a GT3 for the track! MORE! MORE! MORE!

Just look at parts and repairs in comparison to 911 repairs. There is your answer. I understand your thoughts completely, as we may all have them, but do you really want to trade in your dependable, reliable Boxster in for what potentially could be $5,000.00 in repairs on week 1 for a different Carrera rear end? Be thankful your wife even allows you to own a Porsche. lol

my neighbour has an 2005 Carrera 4S

yes, it's amazing, noticeably quicker.
it of course shinier and newer inside which is nice.


I really like it.

His wife refuses to sit in any of his Porsches he's had. They had a big row after he got that one

but! I am just so happy to have a porsche! ANY porsche.

I love my Boxster S 2001.

I've had it now about 3 months, and I still have a big smile

At the Parade this year as I was entering the staging area for the Porsche Parade through Traverse City in my 996 Twin Turbo a PCA volunteer came running up to my car yelling: "Boxsters must turn left, STOP!"
