Hi,
First - congratulations on your Boxster. It is stunning. Great choice on the interior.
I too am in Dubai by the way. Currently drive a 335i and was going to upgrade to a C63 but once I saw and test drove the boxster, my mind has been made up.
I wanted the agate/amber interior the minute I saw one in real life in the UK. However, I am unable to come to a decision on the body colour - I really like the white (however, my second car is in white so don't want 2 white cars), I like the yellow (but yellow won't go with the amber) and so I am debating between the agate grey or anthracite brown - have you seen any anthracite browns in the showroom (everytime I go they do not have any Porsches in that colour).
Have not ordered my car yet - am planning to order it in a couple of months so it comes in time for the good weather at the end of the year.
A couple of questions:
Do you have the Sports Exhaust? If so, is it really any better than the normal one?
Am planning on the normal 14 way seats. How are the seats you have? Is it worth the extra for the upgrade?
Did you get PTV (torque Vectoring) - is it worth it to get that?
Is there cruise control and dynamic lighting standard on the car? I asked the sales advisor and he still has not confirmed it.
Thanks in advance.
And enjoy your car.... if I do see you/your car around ... you will get a huge thumbs up from me...

Hello to all,
Interior Color:
I am the first one to get the orange interior in Dubai; everyone seemed to be afraid of how it was gonna turn out in real life, and let me tell you, it is perhaps the best interior color I have seen on a car! it's not a flashy or a phosphorus orange color, but it's like a subtle light brownish-orange. Nobody--in a week--that has sat down in the passenger seat even noticed the orange. It's darker in real life than the pics I posted underneath.
Sport Plus option
You have to get it! I can't stress that enough, I can't even image the car without the sport plus (chrono package) option. In normal mode, the car sort of tries to reach to the 7th gear quickly and get you cruising. In Sport mode, things are more responsive and you can really get that 'fast' feel. The car is really quick, the six-month reviews I've watched and read don't do it justice. In Sport Plus, the vehicle is a monster, just listen to that exhaust as you release the gas pedal, it scared the **** out of anyone--including the guys
Please, don't buy the car without the Sport Plus!
The gearbox
After driving with this 7-speed auto double clutch, I know the first thing to look for in a new car: the gearbox. This is perhaps the benchmark to which all gearboxes have to be measured. I read/watched so many reviews mentioning how 'seamless' it is when shifting, and I have to say feeling the seamlessness is something else. It's gotta a nice supercar 'blip' to it when shifting. Just perfect.

Tried to send this as a PM but as I am new to this forum for some reason I was not allowed.
Would someone be willing to send this to the OP? Thanks
Hi there,
I have been searching the Internet for design inspiration for my coming boxster s purchase and I have to tell you yours just floors me. I think it is absolutely stunning.
So much so and I open you don't mind but I started a thread on the planet 9 forum with a link to your fantastic blogspot photos.
If you lived any closer I'd practically die to see your beauty in person!!!
Congrats from an admirer in Toronto, Dave

Great looking car. But please "Expresso/Cognac" interior not "orange" lol. I had that interior on my custom order 2014 911 4S before I decided to get a boxster instead (full expresso leather). Congrats again!
