Hi, i cant understand some of the posts here.. getting rid of the boxster because you cant get engine failure out of your head...
Thats crazy... i mean there is more chances of having a blow out that engine failure... I must say this, stay away from lotus there ugly little go carts nothing more nothing less and one crash in a lotus kiss your ass good bye. The people who buy lotus are after cheap thrills, stick with porsche i mean you cant call every porsche boxster engine problem beware just because of a few problems.. as for me i wouldnt like the idea of an engine failure but everything is repairable.. The whole idea of owning a boxster/porsche is not paying the monthly payments but the running and repair bills. I suppose i am lucky as my boxster is paid for so any problems i have with it aint that much of a problem. But i will never get shot of my boxster.. and NEVER consider a lotus which stands for lots of trouble usually serous.
my dad has a ferrari 355 and he thinks the boxsters shape, sound and performance is awsome. As for boxster power the boxster is a powerful car but its also practical. I bought my boxster for the amazing looks, handling, and at 221 bhp its not a slow car. I dont think a lotus even plays in the same park as the boxster.
Has anyone looked inside of an elsie at a garage, i have its a joke... it looks like a kids play car.. i mean how are you supposed to control this car.. windy day, doing about 90mph over a bump, hood down... you will take off..
I havent seen or heard one good thing about the lotus elsie.
Also that MR2 spider, there are hundreds of them things all over the road.. my friend who owns a 2001 boxster also told me the people who drive the mr2 spider cant afford a boxster so they buy the wanna be boxster..
stick with porsche..
inside of an elise .. what a joke..
