A couple of weeks ago I traded cars with a friend who has a Porsche Boxster. After a day of driving it on the roads where I typically push my BRZ, I was left with the impression that in so many ways the Boxster was as good or 'better' including more power and better stability. (I felt the steering feel and feedback, though, were better on the BRZ.)
My key conclusion, though, was that the Boxster was nowhere near as fun, because the car did everything for me, and there was no way I could push it close enough to its limits on public roads so that I was being tested, and more importantly, so that I was fully engaged in the experience of driving.
Likewise, I know I would have to spend $30-40k more for the Boxster, along with more gas, higher maint, and less day to day utility.
So, the great thing was, I walked away content with my decision, realizing that more money, more power, more etc., don't necessarily equate with more fun.
