I think the way to look at them is to ignore that there are other porsches and just look at the boxster on its merits as a car and I think it has plenty.

If you ignore the hairdresser image, there really isnt much not to like about them.



You still got the v6 clio phil?
i had the above opinion that there a poor mans porsche but i got to say driven loads of 911's 996's 997's ect and there great fun but on a daily basis there a bit of a pain ! I had a boxster 3.2 for 2 weeks and im converted great fun car and real easy to live with
