Buy want you REALLY want if you can, I know if I had not bought an S I would have wanted one.

Bottom line... get the best price on what you want. Period.

When I was 20 I craved HP. Now I am 50... been there done that. I don't need no stinking 6th gear. My racing days are over. I have owned and driven lots of cars that were way faster and had way more HP but none to date were as much fun as my little Boxter. I use my car for spirited top down canyon carving, occasional track days just for kicks, and my wife likes to ARRIVE at parties in it. Sure an "S" would be a faster/firmer ride but I doubt it would be any funner (is that a word?).

No regrets here. Would I ever buy a Box S?? If I found a real sweetie at the right price, yes.

Right on Marc. The S is just fast enough to keep me happy. It would be fun to have a quicker car but when does it stop? I know I would be thinking woulda shoulda if I went with the base car. There will always be someone out there that is quicker, but I know I got the best I could've at that time and didn't hold back. I think that if the owner or potential owner buys the best Porsche they can then regret can't be a factor whether that be a base boxster, S, or whatever.
