Right first go at this so be kind :)



This is my MY07 Boxster 2.7, had it a month now and I still make the neighbours think I'm a madman by going outside and looking at it.



No particular order. It's a new car so all I've done since getting it is to use the 2 bucket method with Gold Class, nice plush mitts and a couple of buckets both with grit guards.



The paint was swirl-free so was cleaned with Carlack AIO and topped with Collinite 476.



I'm not big on shiny tyres so they were simply cleaned with Aldi's finest 59p Powerforce APC diluted roughly 1:4.



Now the images (assuming this works), no before photos as it was pretty clean before really.

I love what 476 did for your car's paint! Looks very wet and tons of depth.



Swimming pool depth!





Maybe try some Meg's Hyper Dressing cut 2:1 for a matte look on you tires. It will protect them too.
 
Which do you think handles better, the MX-5 or the Boxter? I LOVED slinging my sister's miata around twisty roads. One of the best I've ever driven.

Tough call :)



The Mazda is a blast to drive and is really chuckable, but feels underpowered and the engine sounds a bit "buzzy" (it's a 1.8L), plus I'm not sure I'd want to spend long on a Motorway or A-Road commuting in it.



The Boxster just seems to do everything right IMHO, I was a little apprehensive how good a daily driver it would be, but it's just great in every single regard.
 
I do not think that you can compare a Mazda to a Boxer. Great looking car, best of luck with it.

Careful not to get any speeding violations.

Why not?

Power to weight is close to the same. RWD. Naturally aspirated. I don't think they are talking about confort comparisons.......just performance.
 
Nice work! Beautiful color- what code is that? Mine is quite simply the best car I've ever driven, super balanced, great power, unmatched handling. I autocross mine about 5-10 times a year, and it is a real contender. The new 987 and 987S are definitely no joke, just all the best of what a Porsche is. Best of luck mate.
