Its not getting just the baby in, but in a few months you will need to transport things like a push chair, a large bag of "stuff", blanket, soft toys etc, etc. So a 4 door car with a large opening for the pushie & stuff is mandatory.
Keep the Boxster - your going to need the extra 4 wheels for light relief. Please don't ask how I know....

It's hard to beat a 4-door VW Golf for practicality...you'll appreciate that every time you have to access the back seat and the trunk (you'll love the hatchback feature).

If you want to go a bit more upscale, a used Audi A3 Sportback has the same advantages of 4 doors and a hatchback. It's also built on that same VW Golf platform, but is somewhat more luxurious.

With both cars, I'd recommend AWD if you live in a region that experiences that pesky white stuff (troublesome snowfalls).

Good luck, and let us know what you decide.

Oh, and by the way, keep the Boxster if you can swing the car insurance and don't need the money to buy the VW/Audi.

milk

In the frunk next to the amp. is a small shelf or cubby that holds a gallon of milk perfectly. You cannot get rid of the box because you will have nowhere to put the milk that you will continually be going to the grocery store to get as well as feminine hygiene amongst other things. You will not need more room for these trips because you will be gladly going by yourself and taking the long way.
