At a year and 4 month:

I agree on suspension as the rebound is softer than desired, but it's good for street use; let me rephrase it is great for street use. The logic 7 stereo is alright at best. I have heard better midrange after market speakers. Reliability is a big minus at least in my perspective from major issues like HPFP, SRS, to small problems like deforming dash at the passenger airbag, 3rd brake light cracking, and shadowline trim coming lose.

The pluses are the engine, which is a absolute blast, and the value of the car, contributing to the bang for the buck. I know some may say the EVO and WRX are even better choices but I couldn't live with the EVO interior. I tried.

I dont think its fair to compare the boxster s to the 135i with one in range of 70s and the other 40s. Porsche should be close to 1x more car than the 135i in that view.
