i had a '93 RX-7 before i got the boxster. i LOVED my RX; very light, very fast, very responsive, and very beautiful. i have enjoyed the boxster more, but sometimes i do miss the RX-7. the box is more comfortable, gets WAY better mileage (i averaged 12mpg in my RX-7), is more reliable, is convertible, beautiful and extremely fun to drive. it doesn't quite have the WEEEEEEE!!!! factor that my RX-7 did; it's a more refined drive. my boxster always feels like it's going slower than the RX did over familiar sections of road, but it's not; the suspension is just much more refined. the RX-7 does feel quite a bit more crisp & go-kart like, but overall, the feedback in the Box is superior. i do prefer owning the Boxster, but that's not to say i don't miss the RX-7; it was an incredibly fun car to own.
