Is Boxster everyday Car

[vincesf]

I'm envious, as I have 3 boys, and not able to use the boxster as my daily driver, but if I could, I would. Having had S2000's, Miata's, and a Lotus Elise, the Boxster is the best all around vehicle, combining performance, functionality, and comfort of the bunch. My daily driver is a 4-door BMW 335i with a 6-spd shift, but if I could, I would drive the Boxster 24/7.

What part of Virginia do you live in?

In Central Virginia I'm driving my Boxster almost every day. I kept my 96 Infiniti G20 for use in snow and when I need to take more than one passenger with me. It saves me the trouble of putting snow tires on the car on the few days we have snow and ice. While the Boxster has more trunk capacity than my Miata, it really isn't great for trips to the grocery store or home center.

Unless your spouse has a big vehicle and a cooperative attitude, you might just want to keep your truck for bad weather and hauling large objects. Also, I find it's nice to have a spare car when the Boxster needs to go to the shop. I use an independent shop, and they don't have loaner cars.

I use my box as a semi daily driver. I usually take it to work 2-3 times per week and 1-2 times on the weekend for a fun spin or some errands. I use my beater car (civic) the other times during the week and for trips to shopping markets, wal mart, scratchville, etc

I would have no issues with using the box everyday but I do not like the idea of crowded public parking lots at walmarts or parking the car in bad areas of town.

I use my car as a DD, great all around performance. But I have access to other cars if the need arises.
