If I could easily afford an air cooled 911, I'd be in one in a min. In the mean time, my '08 Boxster S is pretty fantastic.
My boxster is a special edition, Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder. It was the first boxster/cayman with >300hp (303hp, when the Cayman still had 295) It mostly just a fancy option package with some unusual options. I love it.
I sold my old '88 911 and got a '97 Miata. I sold the '97 miata and got an '04 Mazdaspeed miata. I sold the MSM and got the Boxster.
As far as the experience (IMO) when driving them '88 911 > '08 Boxster > '04 MSM > '97 miata.
I miss the gauges/dash of the 911. I miss the bottom hinged pedals of my old 911. And while the boxster exhibits amazing handling, there's something about the 911 (from memory) that was just better.
