x2.

I've been enjoying my 10 year old S as a weekend toy for the last 4 years. Recently I gave my old commuter car to my newly minted teenage driver and the Boxster became my daily driver. Now I get to have fun driving the car every day. It's much dirtier than it used to be, but puts an equally big smile on my face. I'm going to drive it until something major sidelines it. Just passed 109K miles last week (but only 40K on engine #2).

I wouldn't pay $40k for more warranty and paddle shifters.
