Hi Peter,

I've had two 982 gen Boxters and they are hands down one of my fav cars that I've owned to date!

The first was a GTS with the 2.5 and then a Spyder with the 4.0. I much preferred the 2.5. Better gearing, eager engine etc. If you can swing it, try for a 2.5 which comes in the S and the GTS before they moved that to the 4.0.

I do however ask you try and find one with automatic climate control. The one you are looking at has the manual version. Yes, it's a roadster and HVAC to most would seem pointless but trust me when I say that the manual version is horrid. The biggest regret most have is not getting the auto set up.

Other must have options are PASM, Porsches adaptive suspension. It's simply amazing how comfortable the chassis is in Normal setting and dare I say, almost luxury levels. The beautiful thing about Porsche sports cars is that they build the stiffness into the chassis and then let the suspension do it's thing in making it a comfortable ride.

You also want to look for the full leather interior. This gives you door inserts, full leather seats and leather wrapped dash. Once you see one with it, you will wonder why you didn't get it.

Lastly, Crayon - DO IT. I really miss my first one which was in Crayon and it's such a lovely colour.

Good luck,

P
