Still loving it. It’s everything a car should be except generous with the luggage space and easy to park. (The Vantage would be better in those regards). It makes me feel fantastic every time I drive it. I know it’s much more of a GT but I think it steers, rides and even handles better than the Boxster did. Mine has the sports pack which improves everything.
The Boxster just made me annoyed and disappointed with its shitty plastics, dull driving experience, electrical inadequacies and recalcitrant gearbox. Kind of soured my view of Porsche ‘quality’.
As far as engineering quality goes, when you lift the bonnet and see all the extruded aluminium chassis sections, there’s nothing on it that looks like a compromise. And the interior is such a nice place to spend thousands of miles. And then there’s that noise. Basically, if you can get one, then you should.
