Think about buying a Boxster or Corvette

[fritz]

I owned a C5 and traded my C6 for a Boxster S.
One reason I traded was poor dealer service. My experience with GM dealers are they are a constant source of frustration - I am hoping my Porsche dealer will be better - maybe naive, but I figured I had nothing to lose.

In terms of performance, the C6 is much better than the C5 and both are faster than my 2006 Boxster S. The C6 handles differently but probably on a track just as good as the Boxster.
For me, I like the Boxster being a roadster, and I think it is easier to drive fast - if that makes any sense.

You mean it's more stable at high speeds?

My 2CENT advise before you even step foot at a Porsche dealership is know 100% what you want done. Otherwise you will max out your credit card.
The #1 reason is everyone in the Porsche dealership gets a commision from your car.Yes the parts dept get %.

The only thing similar between a Vette and a Porsche is the number of seats and number of wheels. YOU must test drive them. Test drive them in the environment you will USE the car. Judge and compare everything good and bad. Then come to the "right" conclusion (a Boxster )
