I do not want to sound preachy although being in my 60's I tend to be an opinionated old .....The Boxster does have special features such as good acceleration and good cornering. Here is the kicker - in less than optimal conditions particularly if you don't have psm, it can get away on you. I drive in winter on winter tires and it can be okay if you slow down prior to corners. Another one where I nearly lost it was on a traffic circle when in spring there is residual gravel on the road. When I was going too fast around the traffic circle I hit some gravel and the car started going sideways as if on marbles. If you know somebody else with a Porsche get them to show you what to look for in driving habits. You do not want to be in an accident. If you want to speed do it on a track. I will shut up now.......
