John, I understand that you had a boxster. I have one that I am trying to sell(2000 boxster S). Great car , but need money for an addition. Do you have any regrets selling your boxster for your stunning speedster? , How do they compare?, are you happy with the 1775cc motors performance ?, how is the quality of your JPS ? , does the car feel solid and free from rattles or is that the nature of the beast ? ,I have been told that all VW engines leak oil, is that true ? . Sorry to nail you with all the questions but I am considering a new or used speedster and any info comming from a former Boxster owner can really help me. Thanks , Patrick

No. No comparison. Yes. It's a 10+. It's solid. No.
But seriously, Patrick, I'll elaborate off-forum.
