Each time I see a 350 z i feel something moving like when you see a beautiful woman,i have the same feeling towards the porsche boxter,not that i really can afford the latter but there is a possibility.
My question is which one offers the best for the money,any member drove a porche boxter before they bought their "z",what was your impression.
Porsches are much more expensive and high maintenance cost,is it worth it,what do you think guys, porsche or "z",
Thanks for the comments !

......what do you think we are going to say? your in a Z forum, haha but the Z is a much better car all around.

you can get a older 03 or 04 for almost nothing now $12 to $13,000

 

What lilpud said!

 

I'd say if your going to get a porsche either get a cayman S or a 911....boxster shouldn't even be in the same realm.

 

buy the car you want and can afford

 

I know,maybe i should ask if anybody test drove a Boxster and bought a "Z" afterwards and why did they settle on the "z" like your comment that says it's a better car all around,etc..
If I get a "Z" it will be a latest new 350 left in the dust somewhere in a dealership "cause the 370 is out. Not too confident about buying used,i had two bad experiences with preowned cars,i got robbed and lied to,no more used cars for me.
Thanks

 

z over boxter anyday.. the feel of the boxter is just crap to me

 

A Boxster S is essentially the same thing as a Cayman S... think of it as a Z coupe VS. a Z Vert. Same HP, same engine, same chassis. OP get the Z.. cheaper to own and maintain. I think of the Cayman/Boxster as "cute" cars.

 

Yeah, if you are getting a Porsche, go with a Cayman. No offense, but the Boxster's are hideous.

As with the others, I would go with a Z, but I am biased. Just get what you like better and what you can afford.

 

top end z > gay porsche boxster (no pun intended - just don't like it)
If you were between the Z and a 911 then it would be worth the debate although it would be a no brainer to get the 911 if you could afford it.
sorry don't like the Cayman S either (even though I live in Cayman)

but to clarify, go with the Z
I'm bias as well

 

Boxster's are slower than Z's for sure. I have a few friends that have Boxster's and they are fun but not that fast. Handling and braking are top notch tho. Now a Turbo 911 will throw you back in the seat!

 

Drive them both. And BTW, it's not "Z" or "Boxster", they are Z and Boxster. One is a Nissan, one is a Porsche. They are very different. Remember to consider maintenance costs on the Porsche as well. Boxsters are very cheap as well. If you are in the market for a Z, you could be in the market for that particular Porsche. They are like the Miata of Mazdas.

 

Like what most people said, I would buy a Z over any Boxster. If I was in the market for a Porsche it would be a 911.

 

Specs are better on a Z than a Boxster...price is very good for a Z than a Boxster also...i wanted a boxter when i was like 15...haha...plus they are way more expensive for what you get...go with the Z

test drive them and see what you like, but the Z is the better car

 

whats a Boxter?

 

Not if you get an S model, a stock S model Boxer or Caymen will walk away from a Z

 

^^ sarcasm meter ins't properly calibrated.

 

Yeah? Well, they are also like the Z of Nissans.

 

Both are worthwhile choices but have you looked at the RSX? It is the best of both worlds.

 

boxster is the gayest porsche made and very slow and should only be driven by chicks...z is way more of a car than a boxster

rsx > all , lol....
