Thumbs up Boxster or Z3 ???

My distant significant other wants a 2-seater Cabriolet.

She likes the look of both and so do I. (Z3 not Z4)
WND had a fabulous run, so, Pesetas no problemo.

Any pros or cons on either?

I like a Cayman S but she wants a convertible.

pretty tough to beat the Boxster these days. great prices and a spectacular car. every car/model has pros/cons. IMHO the IMS bearing issue has been blown somewhat out of proportion, but can be fixed easily enough if needed. we bought a tiptronic, hadn't been looking for one but it kind of fell in our lap. it's my wife's commuter car and the tip is awfully nice to have. it' s a nice way to go and they're usually cheaper than manuals trannies. ours is a 2000 2.7 litre, tip, forest green, new updated top with glass window, 60K miles. $10K last may.

Agree, but women have their own way of buying a car: Shape, color, seats..............

Has to be a 2-seater, doesn't like the Z4. Boxster is good, I like it.

A Cayman S for her would be my choice but being HM, she wants to be seen, go figure.
