The Boxster, regardless of year, is definitely a low production car compared to many, and I'm not sure that the older ones are really soccer mom material - they are definitely in the camp of enthusiasts.

I think we may have become spoiled with PDK/DSG and how good it has gotten recently. I drove a C55 AMG fairly recently - 5 speed auto. The response was really very bad in manual mode. I was quite surprised. It's great how far cars have come recently though, especially the 8 Speed autos in the BMWs.
