I am in the group of I love my Boxster but I need a dependable daily driver. So far things haven't worked out but I am far from giving. Recently spending 3 weeks in a rental car hurt worse than the large repair bill.

I am a total novice about sports cars so I have this question: Are there any other cars out there that feel as good to drive as a Boxster in terms of nimbleness, handling, balanced weight, etc.? I havn't test driven many other cars so i really have no clue. But, the day I bought my 10 yr old Boxster I test drove a brand new BMW Z4 and the old Porsche felt far better to drive to me. I think the mid-engine design is the big difference.
