The Boxster is a fun car that drives like it's on rails and is surprisingly practical, I had one a few years ago and loved it - thats a good price for a low mileage one - enjoy! I'm sure the lure of the 8 will get you back here one day!!

Don't suppose anyone can point me in the direction of a good garage for these, and/or the best forum for owners?

It's going to Autobahn in Coventry for the inspection, anyone any experience of this garage?

there is a porsche specialist in east london that i know personally.

also, i dont really rate this as a worthy replacement.

driven a few boxters, they dont cut it as porsches.

A8 is top of audis fleet.

the boxter is what in the porsche fleet?

Might feel a bit slow, 0-60 takes longer then your 8, but the handling should make up for it.

I can recommend PCT (Porsche specialists) in Coventry for Porsche in the midlands, they have been fantastic with the 997, and they work on some really rare Porsche exotica. I wouldn't go anywhere else considering your only down the road.

The Boxster is the affordable best handling of the Porsche fleet, and with your argument, surely the R8 is top of Audi's fleet?
