You can even pull off just the transmission to change the clutch, which is about an hour job. Heck, it's probably easier to drop a Boxster engine than a 951!

I agree. Boxsters and 996 cars are incredibly easy to work on, even more so than older 911s. (Which are also easy to work on).
I don't have experience w/ newer MB or Audi cars, but Porsches are clean and easy machines to work on. Normal maintenance items like plugs/oil&filter/brakes/clutch are as easy as any car ever made.
As for room inside, Boxsters are limited in seat travel like most all mid-engine sports cars. My 996 would fit the incredible Hulk w/ the seat all the way back.
