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.

For me, something about the back of the car just does it. Of all the pics I have of my cars, the rear 3/4 view is my favorite. I guess it's the silhouette.
Also, I just realized I'm always very impressed when I look at my brakes. They're freaking huge, cross-drilled from the factory, and capped with red calipers. Spectacular!

Just an admirer at this point but hope to be an owner in the next few weeks.
I've looked at hundreds of photos (Ebay) and many in person. So far, my favorite features are:
Gauge Cluster - great design, love the font for the numerals, especially love the black face - almost enough to pass on an S model!
Rear - especially 2002 and older - I love the smooth curves
Front - same comments - I think the 2002s and older look the best - smooth curves.
Red brake calipers on S models.

For me it's definitely the rear view. It's hard to approach the car from behind and not see 50 years of proud heritage...

The boxster's shape is just damn sexy. Smooth lines everywhere. I'm sure Chris Bangle hates it.

For me, it's the profile when the top is down. I don't say this in a bad way - it looks like the top is an afterthought - like the car is MEANT to exist without the top on it.

Totally agree. I like mine with the top down, or the hard top on. With the soft top up it just looks funky.

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...
