In our heart of hearts, when we look back on the last decade or so of sporting automobiles, only a few kinds of cars stand out. Naturally, there are the really good supercars; for us, the Ferrari 458, the Porsche 997 GT3s, the Pagani Zonda. There are also the good all-rounders; for us the E46 BMW M3, the Porsche Panamera, the Audi S4. But perhaps the warmest spot in our hearts is reserved for the driver’s cars that seem truly special and yet offer reasonable value. There could be quite a few cars on this list, including the Honda S2000, the Lotus Elise, the Mitsubishi Evos, the Mustang GT, and the Mazda MX-5. But really, one car, in our minds, has lived at the top of this list for a long time: the Porsche Boxster.
