Agreed. I test drove a Boxster couple of years ago. Didn't really

The boxster is special. It has probably the best handling balance of ANY car
under 50 grand, maybe even under 100k, that you can use everyday. It can be
set up to be as pointy and nimble as a lotus, yet has ABS, aircon, heated
seats etc and doesn't weigh too much. It has been said that given the same
power as a 911 the Boxster is faster point to point. What makes it even more
special is that it'll stand daily use as well as any german saloon would.
