I am 6'-3" and I look like I'm in a carnival car when I'm in a convertible--otherwise a Boxster would be great! I always thought the first gen Boxsters were so cool. They were more boat or light aircraft than car! This whole odyssey started with test driving beat up 981 cayman's and realizing how fun a sports car could be.

Update:
I received the car on Friday and have been buzzing ever since! Mine is a "driver". Doesn't show up in the pictures but it needs a paint correction and the interior needs some TLC (actually a LOT--there is an old leather smell that gives me a headache). I kind of like it it looks "broken-n and less flashy. Just a pretty car that gets to play. The exhaust is not too loud but does make a great sound. I was worried because reading online and watching reviews, I thought it would be really obnoxious but it is not. It just sounds really mechanical. It takes some work to drive it but I like that. It has a deceptively smooth ride which makes it really easy to go faster than you think. It is not effortless like my buddy's 992 Turbo S though--that car is more of an earth-mover than a sports car though. The Ergonomics are great--even for my 6'2 height. The seats feel great and the cabin feels roomy enough and it is a very special place to sit. The visibility is surprisingly good for being a low-slung coupe. All of that is attributed to the mirrors though. I took it to Mulholland on Friday and have been to Angeles Crest for the past two days. It is a real pleasure to drive even at slow and moderate pace. Anyway, pictures:

Such a great looking and sounding car. Glad it's fun to drive.
Would be interesting to know what refurb options you find for the seats. I'd be tempted to refurb it on the "driver" end of the spectrum over luxury choices.
