i'm not too clued up on Porsche but a mate of mine has a Boxter S, the 3.2 I think it's a 2000 V plate. Fuel economy is better than my Golf 4motion though!! High 20's low 30's on a run. It's a lovely car. I think it's about 80k miles and it's tight as a drum. Servicing isn't bad at a local specialist. It drives great. Handling is sweet as you like and i've heard a few people prefer them over the 911 as it's more balanced with the engine mid mounted. One thing he likes over the 911 is it's got 2 boots. Front and rear. I know you've got the back seats in the 911 but he finds it a great benefit when he does his annual driving holidays. I'm not a great fan of rag tops tbh, but the handling argument is the big debate point between boxster/911 ownership from what i can gather. The newer 911's are about as sorted as they'll get by now but they cost. But for hard top options there's also the mid engined caymen?? |
