Hi,

I can highly recommend the 3.2s manual to anyone, I have driven a lot and owned many fast cars, I have done test drives for Ford Motor Company, the noise from the engine when you accelerate is like a finely tuned orchestra. The car certainly has the wow factor.

I have had 3 911 models, and no comparison with the Boxster, roof down in 12 seconds, admiring looks, the noise, what more can you ask?

I have had the Boxster S for a few weeks, and all I can say is amazing.

I have polished the bodywork and the wheels, the car is gleaming. I have also used the Autoglym cabriolet hood cleaner and then applied the sealer spray, now the rain rolls off in beads, also a special polish for the rear plastic screen, which now shines like glass. I have cleaned the leather with Aston Martin Leather cleaner. The car drives and looks like a million dollars.

I got the car with 24000 miles on it in 2002 with special Boxster registration number for £12,000 all in. What can you get for this kind of money that gives so much pleasure; bring on the nice sunny days, and the sun tan is a bonus.

I totally agree with your comments, I used to drive a 348 before the Boxster, and the Porsche is a much better car to drive, and faster as well. Also the maintenance on the Ferrari is a lot higher. The 3.2S is a fantastic everyday reliable car that still thrills every time you get behind the wheel.

Bought my 02 S model virtually sight unseen from a dealer in Dallas. I hopped on a plane from Boise Idaho to pick it up. I test drove it, paid for it and hit the road. 1800 miles and 25 non stop hours later, I arrived back home. When I woke up the next morning, I hopped in and put another 3.5 hours on it. This is the greatest car ever made! (Well, I have no Ferarri experience...)

Side note, at a gas station somewhere in Kansas about 2:00 am, I walked out of the store and looked at it in the dark, under the lights. I must have stopped longer than I realized because suddenly a man in an old Toyota rolled up next to me and in that distinctive Midwest accent remarked "I don't blame you man, I'd be looking at it like it was a woman too!" Seriously, looks and comments every time you take it out. Oh, and the performance? Trust me. Just buy one.
