What is your wife or SO's REAL opinion about your Boxster?

[Tucker2]

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...

My wife did lay claim to the ashtray to store a few pony tail holders. I found that kind of funny and seemed a very small price to pay in order for her to go places with me. She has since decided that she'd rather we get a 911 Cabrio next, though.

If anyone wants the wife off the Porsche, just attach some aftermarket fiberglass parts all around it, paint your wheels black and that's all it takes really. As soon as my superb Porsche knockoff rear spoiler ended up on the trunk she never drove it again. Brilliant eh!

My wife found my current Porsche for me. She's a keeper, so is the 986. She will drive it occasionally,but is afraid of hosing it up.Decades ago she mangled the transmission of my Porsche with a bad shift. Not a word was said in the matter except " Are you OK ?Oh well, I'll get it fixed.
We then came to the point where I asked "Upgrade the Porsche or procreate?" Well two daughters and twenty five years later she comes to me and says "I found your car." She may not love the 986 but I believe she loves me. She does enjoy the drives if I behave!

It is a blessing to have a companion that understands their partners needs. I would say her true opinion is supportive, but not really excited. She has also been supportive as we went through boats, bikes, buggies and four wheelers too. I will say she liked the boats the best. The sports cars come in next. The buggies, bikes and four wheelers not at all.

My wife can't drive a stick, so no worries there! She loves riding in the Boxster. We will usually include a stop for a nice lunch or a bit of shopping into our weekend drives so that helps. We joined the PCA a few years back and have participated in many fun runs, rallies, etc. She even comes out for the track weekends in the 951!

As I don't have an SO to speak of, can't really answer this. But I only let my ex drive it once or twice and no more due to my own nervousness. It's tolerated, is just a car to him though.

My parents? Well, mom has a Boxster so there's your answer.

Wifey loves to go on trips to the coast, PCH in particular, and to Lake Tahoe. However here's the rub, hates to have the top down, messes up her hair. So yes she loves it but wants the lid closed. Screw that, I didn't buy a convertible to run with the lid closed. Thus she gets limited access, but come on, that ain't always a bad thing.

We only have manuals. She likes the car riding or driving. She also like coming to DE's but would not drive in a DE. I have to also add the car is closer to a track car than a street car.

My wife is the perfect Porsche passenger which works well because I'm not! She has accompanied me on many driving vacations and has only complained once when I was doing mild 4 wheel drifts climbing Beartooth mountain on the way into Yellowstone, something about no guardrails.

She is an accomplished driver with many lady class autocross wins in the 70s, but I do all the driving on trips. She usually drives the 3.6 Boxster when going solo.

We bought our first Porsche in 74 just 2 years after getting married, what a trip with a fantastic girl and and a long line of fun cars.
