Default Boxster, any good?

Even though I'm not into convertible's I find myself looking at a boxter...

Are they any good? I remember being in one years ago, the first one so a 2.5 I think and I remember it felt very 'solid' if that makes sense?

So what are the 2.7's like and how are they to live with on a daily basis?
For general running around and also use in crappy weather and such....

Anyone?

I think they are rubbish personally, slow and boring..... But people will say the exact opposite , so drive one and see what you think.

Ace quality car, but as will says drive one for yourself as they don't do anything for me, and they are slow, awsome brakes though!!

Nice cars, but very slow I found. Having the "Look, Im in a Porsche" grin factor was the best bit

Give 1 a spirited drive over some nice A/B roads, If that dont bring a smile to your face then you should do a Brigend.

I don't care if it's slow or fast, if I wanted a fast porsche I'd buy a 996 turbo...

It's just that I like the look of them for some reason and I think it would be a nice little car to own for daily driving for a bit...

Seen a very nice 3.2, black with turbo rims last night...tempted as it's very very nice with alcantara interior!

Boxter S down A-B roads is an awesome car, quick and fun, the grin factor is immense and the sound is glorious
