To balance things out a bit I chose a boxster over a 911. I had no bias other than I just wanted the car that would give me the most fun. My basic requirement was a weekend car convertible.
The boxster GTS won hands down compared to the 911 both in terms of fun to drive and the noise it made (which is a major part of the experience for me).
There where some major factors I did not need to consider though which may be relevant to me :
- I did not need 4 seats (even if 2 are only suitable for occasional use)
- The 911 thing has zero significance to me (been there done that with most supercar badges on the drive)
I can perfectly understand people wanting to aspire to a 911 and I would encourage anyone to tick that box. But the statement "its not a 911" just makes me chuckle. For some the 911 will be a better drivers car, for others its a cayman, they are different and to me for example the 981 GTS spec is a peach and no none GT water cooled 911 sounds as good / is as addictive to drive on everyday roads :thumb:
