I think that a small engine can be driven more efficiently and getting hi revs can be more fun than a larger engine. I am happy with my 2001 Box base 2.7 litre.

Being from the UK if I lived there again I would either have a Miata(NC) or base Boxster. How much speed do you need?

Advantages of 2.5 litre Boxster?
-Cheaper to buy
-Better on gas/petrol


Disadvantages?
Possible block sleeve problem
Harder to sell
Older

Advantages of an S model?
Easier to sell
Faster/ more hp

Disadvs?
More speeding tickets!
Uses more gas
More expensive to buy.

Of course you should try several types of Box before you commit. PPI is recommended.

Cheers, G.
PS Read all about buying a Boxster in this forum.
