I priced out a boxster with basically the standard features on a z4 base with convenience package which is roughly what I'm considering ordering.

you know things like seats that adjust and nav and a half decent set of speakers that sort of thing since you have to live in this car in the real world. also the pdk is $3000+ and yes you do get an auto for free in a z4 if you wanted one.

the boxster is so stripped down that it's $20k more (50 vs 70)

unless you are made of money and have to get the most track worthy roadster this is a significant difference , and the boxster inside and out feels 5 years old .

even a m40i costs less than a pretty stripped down 718 so this comparison is pretty dumb as it is, why not compare a base macan and a x3 m while we are at it. unless money isn't a thing for you which I guess for car journalists who never pay for cars that is true.

what makes for a better summer? a z4 and a $20k pile of cash works for a lot of people. I'd guess more than the 718.
