All Bias aside, I have never driven a Boxster S. I would hope for an extra 60+% of the price, that the car is as nice or better than my S. But take 40 odd K (Boxster Price) and add 60% = around 60K and compare the Boxster S to a Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, Don't think anyone here would have to think twice..........

The red S looked fantactic - by far the most gorgeous of the 3 (the customer also preferred it on looks). I disliked the programme though because :

1) The main presenter was clearly steering him towards the Boxster.
2) The Boxster was an S and WAY out of the price range. They should have made him drive the standard car to make it fair.
3) He never used VTEC in the clips - what a waste.

"Boxster on the cheap" - rather stupid when the engineer guy then explained what the car was all about.

I guess we shouldn't be too hard on Used Car Heaven,

That is the second time that the S2000 has been one of their suggested fun/performance cars.

we'd be more annoyed if they chose the TT as a viable option instead !
