.......but when faced with the same criteria, I picked a S2000.
We've had our 944 for 15 years and it's a great car, but in terms of German car maintenance there is just no comparison.
I was shopping for a 944S2/968 Cab (or even a Boxster) but when I crunched the numbers the Honda won out hands down.
Oh yeah, it's a friggin' ball to drive as well
YMMV of course,
