True! But while one waits for the right Porsche to come into the right price range, one should continue to have some fun while waiting. So I guess, the better question is, which car is relatively comparable to the Porsche in terms of fun and handling?

In 2003, Car & Driver did a comparison test of five roadsters. The base Boxster came in 3rd behind the Nissan 350Z Touring and Honda S2000.

Here's a Top Gear comparison from a few years back with a Z4 M:

I don't agree with the conclusion.

Also S2Ks are great cars, but all the fun is at the top of the rpm range. Nothing wrong with that, just a matter of preference.

Nothing compares to a mid-engine roadster. Tha handling is fantastic, acceleration is superb....the BMW completely pales in comparison. I will say the 350z isn't too shabby.
