Educate me

[kcryan]

I may in the near future be in the market for a boxster, likely 2003, or 04. I know porsches pretty well overall, but not a ton about boxsters. I would like a hardtop, and it must be manual, must. I have a few questions:

How are they in snow (i live in Rochester NY and it would be driven daily, with snows for the winter)

-How reliable are they, problem areas, things to look for

-Hows the MPG?

-What oil do you guys use?

-How much for a general service?

-and now for the kicker.... I have 30-33k to spend, should i go S or regular, what are the differences?


Also how do i make the forum read from the first post down to the last, its killing me that it doesnt.



Thanks guys
