My 2 cents. You can see from my signature line the cars I have owned in the past. The 914 I converted to a GT clone with a Weber carb'd 3.0 and 911 suspension. Car was fun to drive, handled great I liked it. I traded it for the Boxster S and it was probably the best car deal I have made. I was at an age ( 56 ) where I was looking for a performance car but with more comfort. The S was the perfect car for me. The 3.2 puts down good power/torque/mpg and is very easy to live with as a daily driver. This is the first convertible I have owned and the top is very easy to use. Un-latch one latch, push a button and it's up or down in a few seconds. The car is tight and handles like it is on rails. Fantastic heat and AC. Very good storage space with two trunks. Fantastic brakes ! Heated seats are great in the fall and spring. Now I'm having Jake Raby build me a 3.6 litre short stroke motor she should be done in December. That will pick up the performance to make this a real fun car to drive. Bottom line is there is no right or wrong answer to your question. Drive some good examples of both and make a decision. Good luck with your decision.
