Slightly off topic, 1 constant issue I have is when I'm coasting to a stop in traffic, and the traffic picks up again. I'm at 4-6 mph in neutral. I cant get the gear to first and its too slow for second. This only happen for first gear. I never have this issue when coasting at 12 or 15 and needing to grab 2nd.

Any ideas guys ?

Is it my car or my driving ?

It's not too slow for 2nd... just slowly let the clutch out while gently giving it gas.

Sasha,
You may also want to look into the Porsche club's "skills day" that they hold out in bremmerton. Its a great way to spend the day learning the limits of your Boxster. The instructors are good and its generally a lot of fun. My ex. GF took mine to one of those and quickly outgrew the challenges. But felt far more comfortable driving the car in general.

I agree more people in the US should drive stick, it would help to get cell phones unglued from people ears.
