I am awaiting a booking for a test drive of a Porsche Boxster.
It will have to go some to exceed the experience to date of the Mazda.
I post progress.
Dont worry - it will do that for sure. But if you are going into that price bracket have a test of an F type.
Howard your prediction was correct.

I took a test drive in this Boxster 718 manual yesterday. The weather was poor, so the drive was with hood up.
Handling, gearbox, sound and high level of equipment excellent.
This model has moved to the top of the list.
The F type is not one for me.
Will keep posting progress.
