The Boxster was not made for stoplight wars. It excells in high-speed driving and balance. My father owned a 97 Boxster (not the S version) and I have never driven another car that felt so well put together. That car, at 125mph, felt like most cars do at 60. A complete joy to drive.
That being said, it WAS a nice kill... but I'd take the Boxster over just about any other car out there...
