I think that it is an awesome vehicle. I have had a 911s, and prefer a Boxster. In fact I traded my 2013 Boxster S for a 2005 Boxster S, and am in heaven...I have posted pictures of it on this site...People forget that the 911 did not come along until the 60s...the original Porsches were mid-engined cars...I personally prefer the mid-engine, the handling is out of this world...just my opinion.
