For me that will be the only boxster in years to come that I would actually want......stunning.

They have finally got the back to front look spot on.

I love the wheels and the rear 'merged' wing is a stunning piece of design :beerchug:

Mate I'm extremely jealous!

That is a thing of beauty.

With the possible exception of me preferring all black leather in that car it is awesome!

Tell us about the drive?

I wanted an all black leather but she wanted this (only having seen it in the brochure!) and to be fair it really works, looking better in the flesh than the photos

The drive so far feels very good albeit we have only done 250 miles so far!! Running in period is 1800 miles!

The ride on the 20s is far better than I would have hoped for which means spending the extra on the PASM seems to be worth it

Gearbox is fantastic and the engine sounds great up to our current 5k limit, I think it will just get better beyond that.

Start stop and coasting function is a bit of a pita but this can be turned off or is disabled in sport or sport plus mode

I now just want to get some miles on it!!!
