Boxster S or this ?

[edevlin]

I have thought about 911's because of the extra interior space, but the new Boxster Spyder seems hard to beat in my book, and it does not come with close to 40K of driving on it, like the 911 listed.... decisions, decisions.....

I haven't owned a 911 enough to know the handling differences but everyone always says they are harder to drive and don't handle as well.

I recently read a MotorTrend article that sought to find the best handling car in America.

The GT3 was the winner with the Cayman S in second place.

It sounds like the Box is easier to drive and less precarious but if you know what you are doing the 911 (at least in GT3 form) has better handling?

I'm an admitted 'Porsche' newbie, but I would take the new Boxster S. How could you go wrong. Full warrantly too, sweet.

I am probably not as good a driver as many on the forum, but I have owned a 911, and now own a 987. I believe the handling capabilities of both of these cars exceed my abilities as a driver, so from my perspective, handling wouldn’t be a factor in the purchase. Maybe it is different for other here.
