2011 porsche boxster spyder, (red with black interior)
I had a 2010 (boxster spyder) which I loved more but it was parked in a multi-level high rise carpark in central city on the february 22nd earthquake and was a casualty when the park got pulled down with most of the cars inside.
This one i've had a bad run with, had engine issues a week after purchase (which were all very efficiently covered under warranty, though i did have to use a loan car for 3 weeks of my 1st month of ownership of this car, doesnt really give the 'new car' buzz) and then about 6 weeks after getting it back I hit a very oddly placed power pole when backing out of my driveway & damaged the front right panel.
I know many say porsches are overpriced & underpowered, but I just like the boxsters because they are cute, dont really give a hoot about specs so much. Plus its still fast enough for me to get speeding tickets (which is also annoying, i'm sure the police target the car based on colour/look!) |
people who say that don't understand what porsche is about. it's not a car for people who like to drive a skyline which costs half the price but still accelrates faster or a muscle car which costs half the price but hast 3x more power.
and i don't say that because i' german, in gemany some say that as well and i don't get why they don't get that this isn't the aim of porsche. they could build a 911 with 2x as much power very easily but that's not what they are going for with a "standard" porsche.

A skyline, you say...

yeah as example this car. people who drive this car aren't the aim for porsche and this car isn't the car for the "normal" businessmen on the wall street.
it's pretty clear that it's a completely different clientele and people who have a porsche to win drag races are stupid and people who think they are good because they won against a porsche aren't much better because it's nothing special to win against a car not made for those things.
it's a car for people who like it a little bit noble, a car which nobody shall think "ohh neighbours leadfooted son". it's a car to look "reputable". there will be always some pimps who drive a porsche as well but they aren't the aim group^^
and for people who want a porsche with much more power for the race track for "serious" races there are models as well but not the standard models you see at every second corner.
