The boxter is a nice car, but this car will always put a smile on your. Good choice.

Congratulations, and nice options. I'm curious what country you're in, and approximately what price that kind of car sells for there.

Fantastic - congratulations! How nice it must be to have the sunroof option - here in the states we can't even delete it for no credit. Great low-option build - as close to purpose built as possible.

HAHA. It is very wierd to look at those gauges while the car is at rest.


Welbo, congrats on the new car. Enjoy it in great health.

I stay in a City-State known as Singapore (South East Asia).

The cost of this car including "ridiculous taxes and profit margin" is close to USD300,000. Yes no joke it's that expensive here due to Govt effort to control the number of cars in our tiny country to ensure jam-free traffic in a heavily populated tiny country like ours.

The only good thing that all cars sold by the authorised importer come with 5 yrs or 100,000km whichever come first, full warranty and maintence package throw in free. So u just need to change tires for the next 5 yrs and the rest is taken care of by the agent.


My ex Porsche history are as follows:
2009 997 C2S PDK
2008 987 Boxster S (gone)
2006 996 C4S (gone)

Looks great! Interesting choice of options though. I'm not sure why anyone would want the optional reverse sensors in a car with 92" wheelbase (shorter than a MINI Cooper) and good rear visibility.
