I'll play along.

One detail I noticed on my '00 is the guages. The curved arcs that seperate the analog part from the digital part, all come together in nice curves, from one guage to the next.. sweeping along if you will. Kind of like a sideways number 8. I don't think the later cars do this because of additional space needed for more "digital" readouts.

Also, I love the curve of the rear fenderline. I prefer the same rear 3/4 view of a 1969-1989 911 more, but the Boxster is growing on me

I love the front end of the car. Also the curves on the Instrumental Cluster. However I am not a big fan of the rear of the Boxster. Something about the rear ends of porsche just don't do it for me.

Fun question!

I agree with a lot that has been said (except SD987's )

I love how the convertible tops folds neatly into the back, and looks very "finished" when the top is down. The whole "lowering the top" process is pretty cool to watch. I think when people see it, they are kinda amazed.

Another amazing feature of the Boxster was the 60 page ordering guide. You can really customize the car to be exactly how you want it.

Gotta go with dj on this one

I love the fact that the ignition is on the left, and the fact that the engine is directly behind me...
