Picked this up a few weeks ago. It has been a bit cold to drive the 914, but this fills its shoes nicely.

My wife has her sights set on the beemer Z4 (msrp $33950!). I keep telling her it will be let down as she drives a 235 HP turbocharged intercooled R70 vulva.

Patrick,
your wife needs a 2-3 year old Boxster if she wants a vert. The S4 looks good.. after all the problems my buddy had with his S4 last year... I'll stay away from the TTV6. B |

Man you suck. That's probably my favorite car right now. How's the power feel? Is it an auto or 6 speed?

I have heard that the Z3/4 are not great in the handling dept. I test drive a 2.8 Z3 a while back and honestly it felt like a 3 series crossed with a pram (walker). All but the M suffer from chassis flex and consequently don't handle that well.
I would show her the Elise if I was you. It's an entirely more entising vehicle :-). |

My sister in law just had her Z3 supercharged. Now she's going in for extra suspension mods to go with the added power. Said she's tired of having her boy friend walk away from her in his 64 Vette...... pounce on that vette, seester (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

I wouldnt have bought the car if it wasnt Audi certified to 100K. I fullly expect to need new turbos and a new other common items but they should all be covered.
It is a 2001 s4 tip with 43K and the Blue Alcantara suede seats. Interior rocks, is super fast, and handles even better. |

I am sorry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) , but I cannot get behind the boxter. I know it is there from an engineering standpoint, but it does not work for the heart. I would rather buy her a 3 year old low mile 911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) than anything but she is adamant about not sitting where someone elses ass has been (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . What a woman! We were at the international car show at Moscone center a couple of weeks back and you should have seen her face when she sat in the beemer, beautiful (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) !

There was a thread today on craigslist rant and raves that postulated on what were the top 10 gayest cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) and the boxter was on most peoples list. Miatas also (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) . My wife read this new toy thread here and says you guys don't know anything about cars, you drive 914's. Tomorrow I call my lawyer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) .
