I got a Catalunya back in 1998, then a MY99 PPP in 2000 which I PX'd a month later against a 22B which I've had ever since.
I also had a MY01 bugeye which I hated, a MY03 STIPPP which I felt was flawed (boingy suspension and PITA off the line if you didn't dial in 4000 rpm and slip the clutch)...I've had some Impreza experince...
I bought a 996 C4S in Mar 04 and kept it for 11 months. They are fine cars, though not ideal for those like me with long legs. I sold it outright because it wasn't comfortable for long trips, the interior (though more modern than a 993) was pretty shoddy and it really only came alive when pushing at 9 or 10 tenths. Down a twisty, bumpy B road it realy was extrordinary...but cons outweighed the pro's in my opinion.....ultimately I enjoyed driving the 22B more of the time.
In March this year I bought an '05 Boxster S. That's a brilliant car, different enough from the scoob and the audi to justify as an extra car, interior far nicer than a 996 (997 is also great) and steering wheel final has rake and reach so I can get comfortable!
To be honest though, it's not a car I look back at in the carpark like the 911 was...that's its only real flaw IMHO...I almost bought an Elise 111R instead, only the extra practicality of the Boxster swung it....I have been looking at the 997 cabrio more and more recently though...bugger! (Can justify to wife that the extra 2 seats will come in usefull...though with 3 kids now that's not really the case LOL)
