Is it just me or do a lot of people that you speak to seem to be quite negative about the Boxster and Cayman? I am talking as in a few years old, and the standard and even S models (Not Cayman R etc)? I underdstand that they are not a 911, but they are not cheao cars in the scheme of cars that the average Joe can usually hope to own either.

From all my reading etc they get high praise from car reviewers and obviously have a great loyal following.

I was wondering if this is a general lack of knowledge, jealousy, or whether the brands reputation is not as strong as I thought?

(PS I am not an owner but do like the look of them, but have never driven one.)

People just spout the usual nonsense of being a poor mans Porsche.

Its the usual thing of because its not a 911 its a poor mans Porsche.

Ive owned 3 Boxsters and think they are brilliant cars, best of them was a 2006 2.7 Manual, 18' wheels, no fancy brakes, no fancy active suspension, no nav just a basic ish car but it was the best balanced and most fun car ive ever owned.
