986 or 987 ??

[Ian c]

I prefer the 986 .
It is how it was supposed to be .
Of them all I'd take a 2003-04 model for the upgrades , but could quite easily live with a first year model .

I also like the 987 .
Particularly after spending years hearing Whiney 996 owners complaining that the "lowly , bargain basement , poverty spec" Boxster had the same front-end as their 911s ...
porsche addressed this by fitting the Boxster with headlights more like the carrera GT !1!!
Well played porsche ....
That is the major difference from the outside for me , approaching one on the freeway for example I have to get real close to work out if it's an 03-04 986 or a 987 .
From the side-on it's easier due to the inlets , but to be honest I'm busy thinking " beautiful car" and miss them

The interior is better again , and this should all add up to it being a better car .
But the 986 just has that little something .......

Btw , should we ever have another one I'd buy a 2013 on in a heartbeat ....

A totally different car , but taking the principal to a whole new level ....

A Pdk S was my end goal , after buying the 986 as a short-term ...
965 performance in a modern , comfortable , beautiful 2 seater convertible ticks all the right boxes for me .

I'm still a bit torn about selling the 986 though .

It was bought cash so no finance hassle , looks right , doesn't need much , and the only thing it needs is driving !!!
