I wish I had done my homework on this car before purchasing it. Then again maybe I would have gotten scared at the price of fixing it and not gotten it. Prob would have gotten a manual over an automatic. But overall, no regrets

Best thing I've done with money my whole illustrious life. Wish I bought newer since I've spent so much on maintenance and fixing the 'weak' areas...After 5 years of ownership (an eternity for me) I wouldn't even think of parting with Baby.

I'm only three months in and this is my first Porsche (01 Boxster S 60K miles) and this is my first rag top. Coming from BMW's I have to say I find the Boxster relatively simple and....quirky....but.......How can I put it? This thing is just seductive! Everytime I go to the garage I end up picking it to drive. Even when it is freezing outside! I can't get enough of the sound and the feel of this thing. It is just so darn easy to drive quickly and makes me grin ear to ear every drive. The Z4M may have to go away in the spring. I actually bought the Boxster to flip but I think it is me that flipped.

The cost is my only (sort of) regret. This 02 S model has probably set me back about 130k at this point. How? Simple. Porsches seem to be addictive. As soon as that 2016 GT4 comes out, I'm getting it. I'm currently shopping for a Cayenne. I'm not getting rid of the 02 though so yes, Porsche ownership can cost you!
