Those are great points about a simple non-"nanny" car's appeal.
I got a 997 because, you know, 911! But I find the Boxster not only more fun to drive, but inexplicably, more comfortable for long drives.
The only problem I've had in the 8 years I've had it was a coolant tank splitting.
I've thought about selling to get something else but can't ever really get to that point. My wife loves it though she is terrified to drive it (even though she has a manual M235!) Similar to my E39 540, it is just such a pleasure to be in and to drive.
And along those lines, I've driven a GTS 4.0. While I loved it, it also seems more distant than the Boxster, if you can understand what I mean. Far faster, certainly, but not as alive.
I think we have something here we'll treasure for a long time.
