Because people has plenty of choice in the day and you could order an LFA or a similar car if you wanted to. You cant do that anymore.

The perfect balance for daily driving.

My PC had a turbo button in the 1990’s , it has been a synonym for fast for a few decades already, get over it.

I do all maintenance and repairs myself and I remove my wheels way less than once a year on average (don’t need winter tires). How would you do tire rotations on a car that has different sizes front and rear and performance tires you cant swap left to right?

I owned an mx5, then z4 e85 3.0 now boxster s 987. I think the boxster lies in between the mx5 and z4 in terms of comfort and sportiness. Any later z4 will be even more of a grand tourer. The TT is way too heavy for me to even consider as a roadster. Jaguar F type is good value but also very heavy. I think my next steps will be newer boxsters.

An OEM won’t do this unless it was cleaned with super aggressive cleaning agents for a long period of time.

I push my girlfriend’s car further away from the garage door all the time when i need access, much better than a cold start for 5s of movement
