BUY A CORVETTE!!!

Sorry... still waiting for Porsche to respond about my RMS leak... it's been a week and I'm still driving the courtesy vehicle and my car hasn't been touched...

I wonder if they are waiting for me to give in and pay for the repair myself?

In regards to the topic at hand I personally bought the S for the extra power and handling which is noticeable on a track. If the primary purpose of buying the Boxster is for looks and non-competitive driving fun the base model will foot the bill. I doubt I would ever need the S for anything I would do outside of a track event. For me the warranty would be nice but I plan on keeping the car past the warranty and will risk having to pay for repairs at some point. If I was that concerned about a warranty I would buy a new(er) vehicle, extended warranty, or whatever gives me 2-3+ years of coverage.

Either way, you'll enjoy yourself!

keep in mind I will have a C6 Z06 as my next car....Make sure the roof on the Vette stays on... All car have their own set of issues...

As for to S or not to S...Drive both if the base hase enough for you then you just answered your own question. I would not buy anything but an S but I am a speed monster!

I'm starting to believe that I should've bought a Corvette...

My car was diagnosed on September 6th and Porsche still hasn't responded about helping with the repair bill for the RMS. I finally returned the courtesy vehicle after 2 weeks and my car has been sitting in my garage ever since (with the exception of one trip).

No, I'm not serious about the Corvette, I just think it is absolutely terrible customer service when the dealer can't get a response out of Porsche for a month.
