I love Boxsters and did consider one for myself not so long ago. I would go for the earlier B5 platform S4 as they still look good (imo) and with the 2.7 bi turbo motor in there developing 265bhp from the box (with loads of potential for more).

I know my A4 is only a 1.8T but I absolutely love it to bits and wouldn't hesitate recomending one to others.
