The Boxster however needs revs, so would have needed a change (or 4 lol) down, to howl away.

But that is precisely why I love it, use the gears, listen to the wonderful noise, more work but more pleasurable.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Currently a 987.2 Boxster owner, it's taken me quite a while (45 soon - eeek), and quite a number of cars to realise that a quicker car (on paper anyway) isn't always the answer. For example, my previous car (Audi S3 8V S-tronic) would have, in most circumstances, romped away from my current car, in any gear. 6th gear, 50 mph, foot down and away we go. The Boxster however needs revs, so would have needed a change (or 4 lol) down, to howl away. But that is precisely why I love it, use the gears, listen to the wonderful noise, more work but more pleasurable. The S3 was pretty dull to be honest. How a 300 BHP car can be dull, I don't know. 300 BHP in my first Scooby UK turbo would have been fun, with a capital F. Anyhoo, back on topic, why is it that I am finding myself attracted to spec'ing up a 718 basic spec Cayman manual with the new 4 pot washing machine at the back, when I wouldn't consider a 718 Boxster at all ????

no idea I have no wish for the 981 let alone the 718.

Either car would IMO be brilliant value for money. There's IMO unlikely to be anything at the price point to touch them. Shopping cars with big engines just aren't my thing and the Porsche chassis is brilliant.
