I have been thinking about trading in my 2000 base Boxster for a 2000-2004 911 so I could have small back seats for my younger kids. Yesterday, I test drove 2 cars and I was surprised at my impressions.

First, I think the Boxster is a better looking car compared to the 911. But what really surprised me was the ride. My Boxster has much better handling and braking. I know people have written about this on the forum, but I had to experience it for myself to really appreciate my Boxster. In addition, my AC blows colder in my Boxster (important in Florida) and I had to press much harder on the clutch on both of the cars I test drove, compared to my Boxster.

I have to admit, the 911's were quicker, but overall (at any price) I enjoyed the ride and experience of the Boxster compared to the 911's.
