Just wanted to drop in my $.02 on the 986 vs 987 debate.. The 986S is my first Porsche. When I was looking at Boxsters, I was hoping to somehow be able to swing a 987 as I thought it was far better looking. After owning the 986S for some time I've come to truly appreciate the shape and styling. Looking at it from different angles I constantly find new things about the design that I hadn't previously noticed.

I thought the 986 didn't have any presence next to a 996 but I was completely wrong, it has presence - just in it's unique, unassuming way.

After owning thirty or so vehicles, all I have to say is "Thank you, Porsche." I now understand why people own Porsche after Porsche.
