What to buy? 986S or 987S
#31
I have owned both Boxsters and, in my opinion, the 987 is a better car. If you put a set of snow tires on a 987 it will do very well in the snow. If you get deep snow it won't go. It is just a car, drive it year round. Jim

So if you're not interested in the extra refinement, like you enjoy owning a sports car as opposed to a GT, the 987 may not be an improvement?

I hear this a lot. Tell me, what exactly are you referring to regarding the interior "upgrade"? (I'm not being a wisea**.) I actually have an '08 Boxster loaner while my '04 is in for service and I kind of like the 986 interior better. It looks more "classic" to me. I'm not knocking the 987 interior by any means; I'll probably end up with one in the future anyway, it's just that I find the 986 interior pretty nice too.

That's the GT3 console delete, people actually pay to have that done. I don't understand it either--people say it gives more legroom, but I'm 6' with long legs and I fit fine without my knee rubbing at all. I guess I'm just lucky.

I was definately suffering from "console collision" in the 03 that I tried.
Is there no-one who knows for sure if there is a difference in seat heights between manual and electric?
I could call a dealer I guess, but I have this nagging feeling that they'll just tell me something without really having a clue.

Again...that photos was not my car but a photo I got off the web. Mine has the cubbies. It came with one cubby and a CD holder which I've replaced with a 2nd cubby.
