The handling........having owned a 996 I liked the boxster S better. The convertible is nice, but for long trips I'd rather have the 996....oh well haha Boxster S is really the best all arounder.

I wanted a car that I could do tons and tons of repairs to!

Just kidding of course.

No other car quite drives like a Boxster. At least, I haven't found one yet!

I wanted a hot drop top with some prestige. Performance for me was actually secondary as most cars that I was considering (Z, Z4, A4 Cab, SLK, etc.) all performed adaquately for my laid back driving.

I look back and am so glad that I ended up with the Boxster. It is really amazing.

I had a highly modified Dodge SRT-4. It was extremely fast in a straight line. But I got tired of driving in a straight line. I told my boss that I was going to replace the SRT, so he let me drive his '05 GT3. After that I knew I had to have a Porsche. I was originally going to buy a Cayman but after I saw how much it was going to be w/ the options I wanted I decided I better wait. I drove the Boxster S and was very impressed. I bought one! I am vary happy with the decision that I made.
