I'd love to own a porsche, but in this case, I'd probably suggest the S2000.
I'm sure the maintenance costs with the S2K would be alot lower, and the Boxster is considered by some to be a "porsche in panties" - Ralph on The Sporanos

I love Porsche. Boxsters are at the bottom of the list, obviously, but I'm still a huge fan.
I think a few of Jay Leno's articles got me into them.

i am really curious if porsche is a generational thing, because i have absolutely zero ambition to ever own a porsche...
this would be interesting if we could assign age groups to the votes

Throw me the keys to a GT3 RS and open up Laguna Seca for the day

Just something about driving a Porsche... even if it is the poor mans Porsche
Either way you will be happy, I love my s2k.

Beet is right, there is nothing like driving a Porsche. I am currently looking at the S. I drove the S2000, it was too small for me. The steering wheel would not adjust. When I closed the door, I felt like a sardine. I can fit in the Boxster S just fine.
In the end, it comes down to which one you like driving.

I've noticed even as the number of votes increases the percentages aren't really changing any more. I appreciate everyone's help, I think I am going to have a very serious talk about a 2006 S2000 with my dealer next week.

I say S2000 as well. It's brand new, got the glass window. Plus it's really fun to rev and toss into corners! You dont want a boxster, the porsche people consider that a poor man's porsche.

Image aside, (i)its still a porsche and (ii) have you ever driven one? Most of the negative image that comes with the boxster is from people who haven't ever driven one. Which ever I end up getting(more then likely the S2k) I still have an enormous amount of respect for the boxster and anyone who laughs at the BoxsterS is a fool. We are all entitled to our opinions, which is why I posted this and of coure I am aware of the poor mans porsche reputation the boxster has.
That being said a BoxsterS is so close to a Carrera in terms of performance I am shocked they still make a 911 convertible in non-turbo form.
