Loaner car - 2013 Base Model Boxster

Dropped off my PTT at BH Porsche this morning, had to get the driver side window switch/rocker fixed, the plastic switch broke, had to replace the entire unit. Would have been cheaper if Porsche had made the switch replaceable rather than the entire unit to be replaced (I'm still under warranty).

I got a Base Model Boxster as a loaner for the day. I never use the PDK on my PTT (I just put it into Sport mode), the base Boxster with PDK is such a blast to drive. The exhaust note, handling around corners, PDK is lighting quick. Wish it had more torque and horsepower hence the Boxster S is available. I'm thinking about picking one of these up as a weekend car. Holy cow what a fun car to drive.

Cheers

On top of that, the new Boxster is the best looking Porsche in the current lineup. I'm thinking of whether or not I need another weekend car.

My Boxster was probably my favorite Porsche I've owned to date.

That's what I did about a month ago. I leased a `13 Boxster S...I ended up getting a 6-speed manual. Believe me, that thing makes the weekends even better!
