Porsche Boxster

Does anyone else think a porsche boxster spyder is a great car?
My dad tells me that a boxster is not a real porsche and is a poor man’s porsche and blah blah. I think the spyder is awesome, but he is a stubborn carrera lover…
The Boxster Spyder is an outstanding car, and although the specs seem as if it’s just a little above a Boxster S, my own impressions driving one are that all those little upgrades add up to a huge difference.
As far as the perception of others about the car, be it a nicely sorted 914-6, a quick 951, or a Boxster or Cayman (etc), some people will always have strange ideas against Porsche’s entry level cars and want to call them “not a real Porsche” or such. If someone wants to look past a car though, just means it will be easier to come by when you go to buy one…
…and for what it’s worth, near the end of last year when I was doing a weekend HPDE at Laguna Seca, another driver there had trailered in his two new cars: a GT2RS and a Boxster Spyder. The former was intended to be his regular track car, but he wanted to get some laps in on the Spyder as well to get to know the car better. No doubt that the GT2 was the much faster of the two, but his impression after that first day was that the Boxster may have been the funner of the two cars (and certainly not slow, just not as fast as a GT2RS).
