Does anyone love their 981 Boxster?

Yeah it's coming beginning of June now as I have swapped order to bucket seats which delayed it. They've given me 4 years of free servicing to apologise(£1300 worth)
Sounds reasonable, you'd have thought Friday afternoon cars were not possible with modern production methods but I guess not. Glad you're getting sorted.
What a bunch of douchebags people show themselves to be at times!
The 982 Boxster (unlike the 987) is a very good-looking car. As for everything but looks, it is 99% the same as the 981 Cayman (which isn't said to be a hairdressers car). MrD and Freddy need to grow up and/ or realise that it doesn't matter if your car isn't as masculine as a sweaty scrotum

sorrY Mr ORD but the arse end of the boxter looks nothing like the cayman a much sleeker look on the cayman in my opinion, when i test drove i also didnt like the restricted view through the canvass when making left and right hand turns and the whole cockpit seemed cramped compared to the cayman which is why i bought the cayman. And i do see a lot more women driving boxters hence the hairdressers remark nothing personal. But i do beleive we are buying VW cars in the cayman boxter dept at least. each to there own

people can disagree all they like , I have posted my opinion, people need to respect it :-).
It's not like what I have said is "out there" it's been reported loads of times on just about every forum about the Mr2 style.
But Porsche call it GT style, I think the shapes no where near as nice and like Audi wanted to tie in all the models to look more like 911's, so if a cars behind you it has that 911 look.
The 987.2 shapes much more individual and you can tell what it is, the curves and rear sections flowing and looking loads better.
But it's all personal, regarding looks, some like the GTS front better, (I do) some don't that's life.

I suspect the reason that the 981 doesn't get any "love" on here is because owners (like me) are a bit sick of posting to be told they've bought a homogenised product that is only acceptable to buy, inexplicably, if you are a women are a hairdresser (a view, btw, I find as funny as a Bernard Manning joke in 2014).
I don't know if it's just me but I just don't like those wheels. Those flat multi spokes. See them a lot on the recent Porsches and I think they look too 'go-faster' Halfords. IMHO of course.
The top 7 cars listed here all have them:

Yeah, that's really uncanny. Why have I not seen the similarity before? I feel I should immediately sell my 981 and but something older and more demanding to drive. Maybe I can find something with a non synchromesh gearbox and very very small wheels.
Might also start replying to those penis enlargement E mails I keep getting.
There are several discussions running on this forum full of praise for the 981. Just the prospective buyer's one runs to 99 pages...

Plenty of love, as far as I can see.
(And quite a few insecure males too, if one is to judge by the number of rather sad "hairdresser car" comments...)

As it happens, I parked next to one of those MR2s the other day and what's most striking is how small the Toyota is in comparison. I guess the design dates from mid-1990s when cars were much smaller. Drove one once back in the day - absolutely wonderful! Never understood why they didn't sell better. Brilliant cars. There's so much macho twaddle around sportscars in UK.
