I don't have a wife, so I don't have to listen to anything she likes or doesn't like.

Consequently, I have 4 Boxsters, and am looking for a 5th! :D

Since I'm transitioning from my Boxster to a 993 sunroof coupe, my S.O. is quite sad about losing access to a convertible. She doesn't drive stick so she wouldn't be driving either P-Car.

For the record, she's right. A sunroof does not equal a soft-top.

My wife enjoys my Box until the seatbelt tensioner engages & starts compressing body parts.

My wife liked it, but wasn't really into the top being down (hair). Now that it's pretty much a race car, there's no riding in it and it's just kinda tolerated. She loves the 996, though, which was the plan

Loves It
 

My wife has never been crazy about riding on the Harley, so I was quite surprised when she fell in love with the Boxster. We take several two or three day trips every years. The benefit of being empty-nesters.

She is more excited about the 944 turbo coming next week!

20th wedding anniversary getaway
 

On our 20th wedding anniversary getaway last year driving from Durango, over Coal Bank pass, over Molass Pass, through Silverton, over Red Mountain Pass, through Ouray, to Crested Butte for the night and then down through Lake City and Creede and over Wolf Creek Pass, when we first pulled out on the highway from our house the first words out of my wife's mouth were, "Okay, what is the driving schedule?" :) Love at first sight!:cheers: We had the 986 for two months up to that point.

It's a necessary evil, a toy for boys. She does like to "arrive" at parties in the Box but generally she is not into it, I drive entirely too fast :D, and she gets Porsche neck and motion sickness easily. A little irrational exuberance with honey in the right seat may result in my dash being decorated with ABC breakfast. It happened once in the Lexus. :(

My wife's opinion is "yep, it's a car".

Mine enjoys going fast and she loves to hear the exhaust. The biggest issue is the hair, but for the most part she is pretty good about it. She would be happier if it was a Tip, but I just couldn't do that. At some point she needs a new car, maybe she needs a 996tt tip?;)

I'm surprised, my wife likes the box much more than my m3s.

Wife's opinion of my Boxster
 

Basically, she hates it, an has only driven it once, and never on her own, and doesn't want to drive it. She also pretty much refuses to ride in it.

To sum up, she

1. Hates a convertible - doesn't like wind on her face or in her hair.
2. Hates a stick shift. She can drive a stick, but really dislikes them.
3. Hates the lack of visibility with the convertible top up.

Like a few other say, great for me, too bad for her....

Pat :cool:

My wife loves driving a stick but has only driven the Boxster maybe twice. Then I can also say the same thing about my RX8. This from a woman who has 150+ track days as a corner worker at Road America. At least she lets me buy these cars so I can't complain.

Unmarried, but my future wife has to at least like cars. God forbid the day of the SUV & mommy-mobile. I think I can settle if she likes the H1, or G-wagen. :)

Wife loves the car but wanted an auto. She can drive a standard...but would prefer a auto....so she rarely drives it. But she does love the car/convertible functionality.

I tell ya, I get no respect.

My wife is a car and motorcycle fanatic and plans trips for us in the Boxster just so we can run the twisties. Bad thing is she is an enabler and we are always looking for new gadgets, gizmos and things. Oh well, I will endure somehow.

Loves it, drives it often...

+1. This sums it up.
