Boxster? Honestly?

[Mikester]

Would you buy one?  

I have been browsing and mighty tempted to replace my current car (Civic Type R) with one like the below example:

I dont need a sensible car, i dont have children and dont need to carry more shopping than the passenger footwell can hold!

I was browsing other RWD cars, like BMW M3's, 350Z's, S2000'S etc, but why not have a porsche badge?

Only down side i can see is servicing costs and the fact people will think your an idiot?

thats about the only boxster u could have the 2.7 isnt that fast but there fantastic to drive so the 3.2s a good choice

A friend has the newer shape boxster S on a 57 plate. Its pretty impressive!

Bang for buck this has to be a good thing?

been in a few an thought the 2.7 still had the handbrake on but on country roads was a blast

Yet to check, however a friend of mine who lives a few doors down has the newer shape one at 21... So must be possible.

My insurance seems to be flat lined on price. I got quotes the other week to move to a Mk5 R32, E46M3, Bmw 330D (new shape) etc etc. All the same rough price...

Personally. no i wouldnt own one. something about them i just dont like.

however. wouldnt turn down a drive in one cause im sure it would be a laugh to drive
