    Older Boxter transmission can be a problem. My 2cents- buy something else/or save until you can buy a 911.

      I've had both and I'll be honest...if you want a project go with the 951. They are a blast to own and drive. They can be a little pricey on parts but they respond so well to aftermarket goodies. They make great track cars and having the hatch space is a great plus if you plan on taking road trips.

      If you want a car you can drive every day and will require less maintenance, go with the Boxster. I had an S with some Bilstein coilovers and sticky tires and I really enjoyed it. My only issue is that I spent the whole time thinking how much I missed my 911.

        You're actually asking this?
        944 of corse.

        I will approve of a 993 as well.

          My dad has had a 944 non turbo, a 944 turbo S, and now a 944 turbo with all S suspension. 944 is an amazing car and looks fucking beautiful if done right! just my 2 cents

            Both are terrible cars, and questionably gay.

            I'm not hating because I'm a BMW guy, I'm hating because I actually know about cars.

                  Boxter S or a 968 over a 944. Maintaing a 944 can be a real pain in the ass and when things like the torque tube let go, you will wish for death.

                  968 is very similar looking to the 944, 3.0 na 4 cyl and was available as a turbo, just not in the US, the parts can be sourced to convery it though and they are rockets.

                  I used to hate on the boxter S , but they have grown on me. Take one out and really flog on it before you poop on the idea of one.

                    968's are super badass. The have the 928's awesome headlamps and the body of the 951.

                            I vote for the 944 turbo s. They are fairly rare, look bad ass and can be made to be VERY fast. If possible, get the 968.
