Question Looking to buy a Boxster - quick question

Hi all -

I'm considering buying an auto transmission 2008 Boxster for my wife.

Any quick bits of advice?

I was wondering if someone can explain the nature of the air-bag on/off for the passenger seat? Any difference with that between S and non-S cars?

Thanks for any help.

if you want a 2008 box, why not just get the new DFI car with PDK. on ALL 09 cars, there's special lease rate, that equates to abot 3.xx% interest rate.

anyways, diff b/n S and non S, rotor size, caliper size, motor size

if you are not heavy enough, the passenger air bag will not deploy. but 99.99% of the ppl sitting on it will have a functioning airbag in case of accidents.
