It's as stupid as saying the Sportster is a starter Harley.

 

I usually feel bad for a few moments when someone calls out the Boxster as being a starter Porsche....then I go home and drive my GT3 RS and everything magically gets better jk

Really, who cares what anyone thinks? I'm too busy making myself happy to worry about random ******bags at stoplights.

 

Who cares?

I'd rather have a starter Porsche than a top-of-the-line Chevy or Ford!

 

 

Starter Porche??? Thats like saying im not dating the hottest Victoria's Secret Model.......

Hopefully someone says that to me in my "Starter Ferrari" someday too

 

I love my $80k starter Porsche! Even more than my top of the line 3-series (M3) which was $10k less.

 

I know it sounds odd, but I would much rather have a hopped up Cayman (Mezger .1 GT3 RS engine, anyone?) than almost any 911

 

As a former Cayman S and current Carrera S owner this frequently gets brought up from friends and colleagues. I continue to defend the Cayman/ Boxster chassis as the best handling Porsche in the entire lineup, if not ever. Period. The 911 is simply different, and of course, Porsche's halo car.

If Porsche made revolutionary changes instead of evolutionary changes they would have killed the 911 in favor of the Cayman. Accountants still need a paycheck.........

 

Good to see you back in a cayman

 

Well it really is my starter I should be getting my first one a Cayman R in a couple weeks. Gotta start somewhere!

 

It's always funny to hear guy's justifying the purchase or ownership of their chosen vehicle. It doesn't matter what you drive, someone's going to love it and some are not. You drive what you drive for the reasons you chose to buy it. Drive it, enjoy it - don't justify it. I'm on my 3rd and 4th Porsche. The most fun to drive, by a lot, was my 2000 Base Boxster 2.7. Loose and fast. Drove so much looser and smoother than my S. Nothing beats the enjoyment of driving a Boxster. So well balanced.

 

The Cayman R is a great starter Porsche! As for myself, i bought it as an entry level track car... and after Daytona, starter car my ***! at 165mph and Corvettes all around me i think ive "Started Well".... its a great car...

 

I had a '07 Turbo and must say .. I like my Cayman S BE much better for where I live now and my commute .. let the people say what the heck they want ..

I loved my boxster and awed at 911s back then now i'm so glad i drive a 911. 911 Just better IMHO. Boxster was a starter for me... Truthfully and respectfully.
