I've spent a fair amount of time with an 01 boxster S lately, including a track day at Mosport. It's a pretty sweet package. 6 speed, shifts with ease, great a/c, excellent sound system even with the top down at 90mph (this one has the premium sound package), very comfortable, good on gas. Really everything you could ask for. And under $20k. I also spent about an hour on country roads with a 99 996 cabrio 3.4. Way underpowered and more $$ - I'd take the boxster s in a heartbeat, even if they were the same price.

But after driving both of them, I really found something lacking compared to my 72. They just didn't seem as much fun.
