My wife isn't comfortable driving a stick, but loves to go on rides. Has recently suggested that she would like her own automatic boxster...

Hence, why I am in the market for a Tiptronic, 2000-2004 base or S. Perfer sub 100k miles.

My wife enjoys riding in it, and drives it occasionally, but gets a little nervous at times. She drives a stick well, but says this is the hardest stick she's ever driven. She does say that if we get one with a PDK she'd be all over it. she also doesn't care for the expense, but tolerates it.

Got mine a '98 Tip before I got my 2002 S stick. Now we have 3 two seaters & a motorcycle. Looks like the panel truck will soon be replaced with a Cayenne.

My wife lays her head on the roof and pets it like a dog. She says "good Porsche"... I think she's mocking me.
