Obligatory whoring of my new (to me) car, with a Boxster parking buddy I found at work:

Congrats on the new car! I'm very happy to have been able to help you with your decision.

Thoughts on suspension and gearing?

Hope to own one someday...

The 981 is a pretty great car, but if you drive one back to back with a 987 it exposes how numb the steering of the 981 is. 987 has hydraulic PS, the 981 EPS. It's quite noticeable.

I agree with your sentiments on the gearing. First 3 gears are too tall and 6th is too short! What were they thinking???
