Unsuccessful Boxster S search - What do I miss out on/gain with a C5 Corvette?

If you get a C5, your going to have to choose a hood art option. Personally, I'd do a flag and eagle style. ...maybe we should start doing hood art on our Boxsters to show off our spare tires?

Hunt down a copy of the Road & Track Jan 2000 issue's comparison article of a C5 vs a Boxster S. Pros and cons of both cars from back when they were new..

Spoiler alert - they liked the Boxster S better!

I tried to track down that article but couldn’t find it. I may have to search through some mags we have at home.

I only found this one. 911 vs Base C5. They placed the C5 in first due to its better value, but if the 911 was that much better than the Boxster S, it would seem hard to believe they said the Boxster S was preferable.

Of course, I need to find that actual article first.

Oh, lol.

I dismissed that article because I assumed it was simply between the C5 and Boxster.

Good read though.

When I was shopping for a sports car I drove a C6 6 speed, loved the car was low miles but couldn't agree on a price. Then I found my 2000S, love the car its quick really fun to drive perfect for my needs and was half the cost.

Honestly I was more comfortable in the vette, handled nice, V8 tone ect...
But The Boxster just drives like as mentioned a go cart where as the vette feels like a bruiser the Boxster felt more sophisticated.

In my opinion they are apple and oranges both fun but in different ways. My wife still wants a vette just for the look. I would love a C8 lol

Best thing to do is drive em both decide what you like best buy it and the enjoy it!

Maytag has this spot on personal choice!
