I'm not massively surprised by your choice. I nearly bought a Boxter S to replace my S3 a few years ago, then at the last minute pulled out because I loved my S3.
Porsches go and handle well, but if you're going to use it as an everyday car as well, I find them a real let down. The dash of ALL Porsches are horrible and I just don't like the shape of any Porsche so far.
I drove a 996 Turbo on track a few weeks ago and the first thing I noticed after coming out of an F430 was the the Porka's brakes were RUBBISH! Are all 911's like this??
