I had always wanted a small, sporty roadster style convertible. One day I decided to do something about it.

I had driven a Miata in the past and was not excited. I haven't driven one recently and it was a maybe to check out.

Lexus, Audi, Nissan, Acura, Honda, Toyota and other 2 door sport convertibles -don't like the looks enough to bother with a drive.

Lotus Elise - too much of a 'look at me' car. Not for me.

I drove the Z4 and was kind of interested but not super excited, plus I'm not in love with the cuts they put in the Z4 body design. But mostly it was not an exciting drive. With the power booster on, it still felt a lot like my Accord except I could visibly see higher RPMs - I just couldn't 'feel' anything. It cornered nicely too, but still it didn't wow me.

I drove the Boxster and was sold. There are plus things about it that were, well, on the plus side, but the driving experience - the torque and the suspension - were the reason I bought it. On the test drive I blurted, "Now THIS is fun!". All Gs are good.
