Certainly. I am not fond of all the Alcantara nor the black 20” Carrera S wheels. By the time I optioned in the leather and satin wheels with 18-way seats and such, my build was almost $4,000.00 higher.

Don’t get me wrong. I like Alcantara (e.g. on the headliner) but preferred a full leather interior in two colors with deviated stitching.

I'm new to the area. Do you have any favorite drives that you'd recommend?

I specified BGTS w Sport Tech and found it 5k higher than an S w GTS goodies. I am not an Alcantera fan because I use my Boxster a lot. I bought the 2019 BS over the GTS and used the 5k I saved for tint, grill screens and winter tires. I do not miss 15hp for 5k. Sport Tech seats are very grippy. 18w sport seats in mine. Also like 19in wheels for NC roads.

Whaterver you spec in Boxster it is a great car.

TONS of them! Backside of Berryessa into Napa is fun and hooks you up to Silverado Trail, Amador county via Latrobe/cutoff to plymouth (before jackson hwy), then up through Fairplay/Somerset/ Mt Akum to Camino is a blast. Salmon falls through El Dorado Hills up to Cool and then Auburn, Apple Hill via backroads from Placerville, Scott Road from Folsom to Rancho Murrietta....I can go on for days and days.
