Driving is the only way to really tell how you will feel about the car.

I would suggest taking at least 3 test rides in each car that floats your boat. If you like the Box, drive it again.

It is different from a Lexus but very very nice indeed.

If the dealer objects to your taking your time, find another fast.

Best of luck.

PS-I have owned a many boxes and 911s. I prefer the Box, but that is just me.

thanks. I am sure it'll be much different from the Lexus, especially because my Lexus is an SUV. I guess the only way to know for sure will be to go on some test drives.

I'll second that!

Hey LoveBunny---go drive a Boxster (or two, or three). Even if you don't buy one, ya gotta drive one! (My oldest son keeps buggin' me about how I need to go and test drive an Elise. There's no chance I'll buy one---not even sure I'll comfortably FIT in one, but you know what? Come spring time, I'm going to take that test drive.)

Going from a Lexus SUV to a Boxster is a big change. I don't see how anyone would be a candidate for both vehicles at the same time. Unless, of course, you really have no needs other tha image/perception. Seriously, these are about as far from each other as you can get. How can anyone really consider both an option?
I don't mean to bag on you. It just seems like an odd question to me, that's all. Can you help me understand?

Yeah it is. Which is why she should probably drive a few before she thinks about buying one!

BTW, LoveBunny: You should probably think about changing your avatar...I'm pretty sure that's a DOG.
