Brought my Cayenne in for a few minor things and got a Boxster loaner for the weekend. What a blast! The more I drive it the more I want one. This one isn't even an "S" so I wondering how much better a Boxster S would be???

 

 

 

 

had the same experience with a boxster loaner last week when i brought my cayenne in for service

 

Sheesh, Kirb. All those gorgeous pics. And that was just on a spur of the moment loaner. I can imagine the portfolio you'd have if you actually owned one .

Boxsters ARE fun! There is something about the balance and tossability, and just the general drivng ambiance. The S just adds a hint more power and fun. I actually prefer the 987S to the C4S for fun and frolic street drives on weekends.

 

The S is a blast to drive at all speeds

 

When I drop off the 996 for service and get a boxster, when I get back into the 996 it feels like a boat!

 

And the new S gets the 3.4L engine generating 295 horsepower.

 

Kirby,

I live in East Bay as well...where is that road?

It is a great car. Just came back yesterday from Tahoe, Cal-Neva area, around the west shore to 89, then over Carson Pass down to the East Bay. Reaffirmed what a great buy I made. Oh, and the trip computer said that for 425+ miles including the uphill pull, overall mpg came out to 25.3!

 

That road is in Marin heading toward Bonita Point

 

Hey you were in my neck of the woods! Gotta love these Tahoe roads...
