What other cars did you consider before settling on 986 purchase?

• S2000 - but I am too big and didn't fit comfortably in the seat.
• Miata - I actually bought one, a 95 for $2300, but then I gave it to my son.
• Nissan 350Z (or 370?) convertible - seemed too plastic-y for me.
• Oh I forgot I also drove a ragged out Toyota MR2 Spyder, the convertible top was rotten, the interior of the car was musty, and the check engine light came on during my test drive I will say it was a very nice driving car, and the cockpit felt very comfortable and familiar (I have driven Toyotas since the early 90's), and it had plenty of room for me. That thing has very tiny cargo space though, and the owners wanted major bigtime $$$ for it.

For some reason the Boxster was just... "it".
