I sometimes think what car I would buy if (God forbid) my Boxster GTS disappeared for whatever reason. I think on the short list would be the Audi RS3, BMW M4, or maybe even a C63 AMG or Jaguar XE Sport (with the 3.0 V6 supercharged engine). Sadly it would be unlikely to be a Porsche and definitely not a 4 cylinder one.

I'm not sure what I'd go with to me honest, as I will fully admit I am not a fan of BMW cars and the others I don't really find that appealing.

If you're talking brand new cars, the choice is very limited. Otherwise, the cheapest PDK 991.1C2S (60k?) I could find would be my pick. BMW M cars are stuck with the same problem now they've gone turbo too. C63s (in coupe form) is tempting as at least it looks AND sounds good. Audi's don't do it for me, apart from the new R8 v10+ and then you're into 110k.

I expect you could implement an 'ignore' function or ban a few individuals and the forum use would increase.

Fantastic idea! You'll be greatly missed Magic919. Honest <cough>

He restores a bit of excitement to the Boxster for those unsure of buying a 718. It was definitely interesting to hear from someone unfamiliar with the 6-pot. If it's speed and feel the buyer is after then I'm sure the 718 will give them plenty. I absolutely detest the popping from the exhaust though, makes me cringe - so I have to disagree with him about MUST spec the Sports-exhaust.. or you're an "idiot". Really does sound sh..
