Well I am an ex Brit guy living in Canada and from what I have seen the photos of US Boxsters put mine to shame. They are well polished and detailed. Mine I take to the wand car wash and make it look respectable. She is no garage queen.
As regards if I lived in the UK I would probably own an MX5 as it is appropriate to the size of other vehicles. My 99 MX5 felt small compared to the half tons and suvs in Edmonton, Canada. The Boxster is a nice size,side airbags etc. Finally we have snow here so I can try it out in the snow and ice. More fun than a barrel of monkeys:troll:. I would think that running a Porsche in the uk would be pricey?
It is good to hear from the British contingency.
Great forum
