Default '01 Boxster or '03 Bonneville SSEi ???

Hey,

I know this is a strange question, because the two cars are totally different but...

I have been knocking my brain for weeks now deciding which to buy...

I am interested in either a 2001 Boxster or a 2002-2003 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi...

Again, I KNOW they are two VERY different cars - I just keep going back and forth on which to get...

Boxster - two seater, Bonneville 4 seater, does that matter, yes and no.... lol

They are both relatively the same price...

I just thought I would post here in the slim chance someone might have had a similar problem or have any ideas....

Thanks as always!

Neither, I'd go for a mini-van.

Seriously, you have to figure out what YOU need from a car. The Boxster is always a joy to drive but you're not going to be taking any more than one passenger. If that's a problem, there is no choice. I have to admit, sometimes only being able to take one person can be a blessing though.

If having a back seat isn't important, then you need to drive them both and then make up your mind.

Good luck either way.

If you can't make up your mind on something and would be equally happy with either one, a great rule of thumb is just to buy whichever is cheaper. (FYI, this rule of thumb works great at restaurants, too, guys!)

Another option, if finances allow, would be buy a Boxster and also buy a cheap used 4 or 5 passenger vehicle. Kind of the best of both worlds.

Ok, you all win, lol

After really thinking about it, you all have shown me my error in my thinking...

It was pretty much an impulse post...

Thanks to everyone that took it seriously though
