Enzo,

Nice car!!! I can't believe it almost a whole thread on this board talking about Porsches or others...!! it must be the weather over there!! getting cold and wet I guess..

No seriously I like the car based on all the above as well. I have read a few things which seems to suggest the Boxster is not that reliable which surprises me being a porsche. But I am sure others here know better someone must have owned one..once we won't tell the rest of the board honest!!...

Not for me this one guys , still stuck in the old vein , only decent porsche is the true 911 preferably turbo , im getting a little old now for the out and out speed Porkers , and the comfort levels have got to go up a grade or two to match maserati's , otherwise cocould be good be a good choice as change as my 2nd car

Known a few people with Boxsters and they have been 100% reliable .... They just seem to go on and on .... Service is pretty cheap to. I can see why it is suppose to be the best Sports car you can buy ( in its group that is) . I've driven a few and been blown away on how competent it is as a fun car, a daily drive, built quality .... You may not like the styling but its a bit like what the Elise did for Lotus, it saved Porsche......

hehehe, we do go off on a tangent here once in a while...
I love my Italian cars, there is just something very different about them,
but there's nothing wrong with a little window shopping every now and then :D

We all love Maserati Enzo and I've for one has said there is nothing that can come close to the marque .. you either get it or you don't ... But I think we can all say that there are better cars out there and cars we would all like to own .......... There are far to many great cars to try before you die ......

Yep I know...which is odd as they haven't even sat in it yet let alone driven it......Its because the last R was a stripped out l;ight weight plastic glassed car and this isn't in the same league...Bet it will be a great car though.

............heresy..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......how can you even think that never mind type it on our hallowed forum.....;)....;)............................you're right of course....................Enz.................but as for quite a few on here, finances and a few other factors limit the cars we eventually own or might even dream of trying out..........
