I've driven stick-shifts all my life (I'm 55) and I was taught to generally keep them between about 2k and 3k rpm. I have concluded this is NOT the way to drive my Boxster. I've had to get a little more accustomed to winding it out, though I rarely take it past 5K.

Turns and curves seem to be a lot more fun to take without bothering to brake.

On a recent 2500 mile road-trip to CA, we pushed it pretty hard and it brought us home happily purring as it has since we got it 3 months ago. So I've concluded it's generally designed to drive reasonably spiritedly.

But the biggest adjustment I've had to make is in avoiding tickets. The cops seem to pay a lot of attention to these cars!
