This review of the 986 is one of the most passionate I have ever read, I love it

I have had many nice cars including New 911's, classic 911's, Ferraris and Astons, but this sums up why I just love the 1st Gen Boxster so much:

Enjoyed reading that, thanks. This is my favourite bit

"Indeed, Porsche has always been more than the 911, and it is refreshing to hear someone older folks might call a “young person” choosing the Boxster for its connection to history rather than its cost of entry. "

I saw that the other day. 

 

I'm really impressed with the Boxster. It inspires confidence and it doesn't encourage hoonagism behaviour. My kit car did exactly the opposite. 

 

The drop top experience is excellent. Reminds me of when I'm on the motorbike but without a helmet. 

 

Overall I'm very pleased with Porsche and it's design engineers for this car.

When I bought my first boxster I went to a specialist whose approach was "what do you want from it" - 10 mins into discussion, guy said "so what's your bike history" - he reckoned his typical boxster customer  was a long term biker who just wanted to do "it" in t-shirts and shorts" and understood roof down as a life style choice.

he wasn't wrong

It's something non bikers may not appreciate. 

Thing is I don't want to drive like an idiot. Every other performance car I've owned, including those faster and slower have encouraged me to drive with enthusiasm. ....

"Anyone can put something down, finding something to love is tougher, and immeasurably more rewarding."

Brilliant.
