An SLK for Boxster? I guess it depends on what you are looking for in a car. They are very different and not surprisingly this being a 986 forum not many are going to give a thumbs up.

If you leave us we"d be disappointed.

I have to stop looking at cars.
Wasn't really looking to trade
The Boxster. The Mercedes is
At a local Audi dealership.
Anyway drove the cars back
To back. The Boxster felt light
Like a feather. The Mercedes
Rather heavy. I like the
21,000 mileage on the
Mercedes vs 65,000 on the
Boxster. I like the
Roundness of the Boxster body:dance:
Vs the flatness of the Mercedes.

Then we took it out for a test
Drive. To the horror of the
Salesgirl saleswoman? In
The Mercedes I turn off the
Radio telling her I don't
Listen to the radio or MX
Radio which it has. I listen
To the "Boxster " play. She
Didn't understand. So we
Take off for some twisty
Road I know.

My driving style has changed
In the time I owned the
Boxster. I love giving it
About 3/4 pedal from a
Stop light or passing slow
Traffic on the turnpike.
Did the twisters with the
Mercedes it did ok but
Was really heavy in the
Steering the brakes were
Not close to the Boxster.
At 3/4 pedal the
Mercedes song was
No where near that of
The Boxster.
After I told the salesgirl
I was keeping the Boxster
She asked who drives
Like that? I told her
Some Porsche Boxster
Owners. I offered to
Take her to a CCC at
The local track or
With the Porsche club
Next spring or a empty
Parking lot in the snow.
She said no thank you.
So anyway we still with
You guys.

Thank you for the insight
And advice.
Off to the track scheduled to
Work registration at a SCCA
Region event today.
Weather 65 degrees and sunny.
All is well.

The SLK32 is not much better either. Attempting to drive a manual trans SLK makes me feel like I'm just learning how to drive.
