I've had 2 2g Eclipse GSXs. If you are a fan of large expanses of squishy rubber dashboards, hard leather seats, and otherwise whale-skin patterned hard plastic, then yes, they are better than the Boxster, but I personally don't think so.

If you are going to be dissatisfied with interior quality, stay far away from a Lotus. Very cheap plastic and alot of squeaking and rattling are standard equipment. We deal with it because it's part of the car's character. Loud, hard, stiff, expensive in an accident, it takes true grit to use one daily.

Criticizing a car's power or torque output without looking at the torque curve and the vehicle weight is useless. That Lotus only makes 140 Ft-lb of torque, but it does 0-60 in the mid-4's.
