Dorset as in UK ? Just where is this Dorset? I have a 2001 Boxster base 2.7 which has adequate power for me. Gets a bit better gas mileage I would think than a 3.2 litre. There will be many others chime in with their 3.2 views. Have never tried the latter. You get the glass rear window I believe in the 2003 or later. I can go fast enough with a 2.7 as our speed limits on the hwy are typically 110kph/ or about 70 mph. I love winding it up in the gears. I have a 5 speed manual. 6 speed I don't know about and would be curious from others is it really needed. There is lots of info on Boxsters on this forum, plus Pelican Parts forum plus Rennlist forums. I bought my Box a year ago and spent the previous winter doing research. Check out the options on the various Boxsters. For instance I have manual key only, no remote entry, no psm. The heated seats and air. cond. are wonderful. Being prepared info. wise i think is essential before u commit. If you don't know much about them get a knowledgeable friend, or join a Porsche club and I feel that a PPI is a must.
Cheers, G.

Fuel consumption doesn't vary much across the engines.

You need to get out there and try a 2.7 and a 3.2 to know whether you personally need the 3.2.

Xenons gives better light, but I think original Boxster with amber indicators is the best looking - and you can't have that with Xenons.

I'm not sure I'd pay for an inspection, but having someone knowledgeable on hand would certainly help. I'm in Bath. If you see one you like near here, PM me and I may be able to have a quick look at it.
