Default Selling the S for another type of S

Hi Guys,


I am considering leasing a new Boxster S and selling my S2000.

I closed the deal this afternoon and will confirm everything tomorrow morning, so I have tonight to think it over.


And I must that all of a sudden I am feeling a bit goofy! I am definatley going to miss my S2000.

The deal was either a Z4M Coupe (exactly same deal as Box S), Audi TT (slightly cheaper) or the Box.

I must say I loved the TT interior and I think its the best car lo live with daily. I like the M power but not keen on coupe.

I always dreamt getting the Boxster S, and it seems that at last the oppurtunity arrived.

The S2000 is a great car, but I found the interior a bit on the small side for me. Quite tiring on not so long trips.

^ if it's as small, i still bet it's more comfy. not something i was shopping for when I got my S so it doesn't affect me but enjoy the new car! Report back to us from time to time and give us a review.

More important question: What color?

Well, it is more comfortable than the S to be honest, but in terms of handling the S2000 is way much better IMO!

To me did not!
Esp from the leg width (no big tunnel) and door side felt wider.

It felt a tad more spacous but will check it out again tomorrow.

Of the 3 the Z4 coupe would be it for me, I don't care for the Z4 but w/the hard top it looks nice. One of my best friends has a Boxter S, I personally don't care for it all that much, of the 2 I prefer the S. I'm 6'3" and felt the Boxter was just as tight as the S, there was no way I thought the $$ difference was worth it. His car has been at the shop at least 4 times in the 2 years I've had mine (none for me), just small stuff, like leaking coolant inside the trunk, check engine light that comes and goes, retractable top sometimes deosn't want to retract on 1st try, dash lights that flicker sometimes and oil changes, it's pretty tough to do one yourself on a Boxter. Granted his is an '03 w/about 35k miles so I'm sure you won't encounter any issues for at least a year

I do like the BS, just not as well as the S2000, now if it were a Cayman S, I'd be all over that, in fact the price difference isn't that much between a Cayman S and a Boxter S, maybe $10k, I would definately let the Honda go for a CS. Have you checked out one of those yet??

Convertables are over rated anyway......
