I’ve said this before, it is nigh on impossible to “get” 911’s from a short test drive. With the Boxster or Cayman the car will feel right from the get go; they’ll give you bags of confidence and you’ll be able to chuck the thing around. You can’t with 911’s - you have to figure out the dynamics; the slow in fast out mantra. I’ve got a 997 and love it.
I’ve got a Boxster 981 and my son has the cayman 987. I would say definitely the 911 is the better car, but the question you need to ask is what’s the best car for you personally. And in my case it’s the Boxster 981, for agility and the way it looks after you in the corners and finally value for money.
Thanks for having me mate! Hopefully next time we meet up the weather will be on our side 🤣🤙🏼

I own a few Boxsters. I would buy a Cayman over a 911 if I needed a hard top. The rear seat of the 911 isn't important to me. I prefer smaller cars.
Boxster is a cabriolet. You should compare it to a 911 cabriolet. I have a 981s and tested a 991 cabriolet before choosing the Boxster.

Before you buy the 911, if you want you can to take my 981S Cayman out Will at the next Cotswolds Tribal….
