Low end? Ouch! You can get 911's at reasonable prices right now as well. I personally know several Boxster owners that chose their Boxster based upon the way it handles and drives. Not just because it was less expensive and that's all that they could afford. A few of them have a Boxster along with a much more expensive exotic. They appreciate the Boxster for the mid-engine handling, the fun they have on the track with it, and what a great DD it makes.

As far as reliability goes, I've personally had no issues with mine and I drive the heck out of it. Yes, routine maintenance will probably run you more in a Porsche than a S2000. But, it's a Pcar, so that just comes with the territory. It's also about which one you enjoy driving better, car clubs, events, and all that other stuff that comes with the car you choose. To me, I enjoy being part of the PCA and other Porsche related events, so it was an easy decision.

If I were to do it all over, I'd pick a Boxster time and time again. We also have a 911 which I do enjoy, and I'm glad we have it. But there is just something about my Boxster that after 2.5 years of owing it, I still get excited to start that engine every morning and taking her out.

Okay....I feel all better now!

Best wishes!
