My next fun car is going to be a Boxster 987S. Would I regret buying a yellow one?
Love the look, but I think it might be a little too conspicuous during spirited driving.

I got overtaken by a yellow 911 last week, and I could see it for a couple of miles every time it pulled out. Really stood out.

I've owned two Porsches in Speed Yellow, a 993 RS clone and my current 996 GT3. Both of which were/are weekend toys, so they are only out there when I am driving for enjoyment driving

I am not sure if I would use a SY car on a daily basis though, as the colour does draw a lot of attention (both good and bad) Also SY only looks really good when its clean and shiny, crap when its dirty and daily drivers do get covered in all sorts.

It is worth noting that on both the 993 range and the 996 GT3, Porsche used SY as the promotional colour in brochures and posters for a reason!... It looks so good!

Just my 2p worth.
