I just started my research on these cars. I would love to know common problems they have, driving characteristics, the good the bad, etc.
I will have to sell my teener (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) and current daily diver VW both to buy a Boxter thanks, Levon |

I drove one in Daytona at the Rennsport lll. They had an AutoX track (I think it is a permanent GoCart track) . $10 to charity and you took three laps, 2 for you and the third with an instructor from The Prosche Experence. My impression was the car was numb. Handled unbelievable, stopped unbelievable, but with ABS and traction control and what ever they call slip control, you just go as hard as you can and the car takes care of itself. Oh ya ! I even took the automatic so no clutch drama.
