There is no better
The car is the closest to perfection there is out there. The Boxster will outhandle anything out there now. Road and Track did a slalom run in which it blasted the Enzo's (the Ferrari guy costing $700K) record. True it does not have an overabundance of hp's but once you pounce on the accelarator you get usable power with unmatch driving dymamics. With a top speed of close to 170 mph I think it is fast enough.
Xlnt sports convertible
Great choice for sports car convertible; very pricey new (keep options list down !) but worth the xtra money in the long run. More comfortable and useful size than it looks. Bought mine new and have used it as daily driver/only car for a number of years. Out of warranty repairs expenses can be high, but maintenance is just once a year for low mileage cars. Hard to give this car up, makes for a great 2nd car keeper once its past its prime.

Tiptronic S
I first bought a boxster 1997 2.5L and was absolutely sad about the performance however sold it and got my Boxster S 2003 3.2L, reliable car yes however been finding some difficulties with the transmission (solenoid, Valve Body etc.), i also feel that the car needed a slight increase in the power.
Seduced by a car
I decided to buy myself a birthday present and the Boxster S was it. It's hard to put into words the driving experience. I first learned to driver when I was 12 years old. My father got me into go cart racing. The best way I can describe the Boxster S is that it is a go cart for adults. At 6'1" 225 lbs I was concerned that it might be too small. I found it was amply large enough for me. Having both a front and rear trunk there is ample storage for weekend get aways for my wife and I. Fuel economy is fair for a performance car averaging right around 24 MPH on the highway. But the real thrill is acceleration and handling. The car is ridiculously glued to the pavement The car takes precision cornering to a new level. I took the car to a Porsche Club of America driving skills class. During the wet skid pad exercise the car remained flat and level. With the top down and the windows up it's quite cozy even on a cool day. Both heater and AC do a great job. The Boxster S and and an open road make driving a thrill again.

best of the sports convertibles
Owned it from new; only car I kept this long (7+ years), it works fine as a daily driver not just for weekends. Can be expensive to own in terms of dealer maintenance costs and out or warranty work. Delivers on the promised fun quotient and design aged very well, still very current vs. 2010 model. True sports convertible, not just for boulevard.
