I test drove a 987 Boxster as part of my shopping experience, along with a 2.5 98 Boxster and a 2.7 2001 Boxster. The 98 was very ho-hum (I think it had problems), the 2001 had lots of power, and the 987 (2006 or 2007 I think) didn't seem that different to me. And I liked the cockpit of the 986 better. I finally ended with a 2000S. If I had unlimited $ laying around I think I would like to get a Cayman R (with AC
) - there is one for sale about 90 minutes away at Porsche of Ocala...
