You might want to re-phrase that
Carol please be specific. Do you want a ragtop or a coupe. ?
New(er) or old ?
I have a 2002 Boxster S, handles insanely and has a massive sunroof. Yes , the old ones had to have the intermediate shaft bearing replaced due to a design issue but that's done so it's good for another 100K.
The boxster has two storage spots, I can get lots of stuff in it. The cayman is a boxster without the massive sunroof.
My 911 has only one storage spot and the ridiculous back seats which are 99% used for storage. and it has a small sunroof. and 385hp and lots of cool stuff but seems to cost as much as a fighter jet. I exaggerate a little, it's only 45% more than a Boxster or a Cayman, though I gotta give handling to the Boxster/Cayman over the 911. That 200lb shift of weight at the back makes a difference.
I love driving both and SHE wont let me sell the Box so....I'm screwed.
a C4S 911 Cabriolet would be the only thing I would consider in place of them. Or maybe a Targa

Carol, you're barking up the wrong tree, you need a Jaguar F-type like the new Coupe.

New Boxster.
Had Boxster S and 911. Smiles per gallon = Boxster every time. You need deep pockets or warranty for most 911 ownership. Handling of new Boxster is sublime and the perfect all-rounder. Porsche ownership is very snobby and Boxster owners are often accused of owning one because they can't afford a 911, but trust me I've done it and if it's my cash that's being spent then it's a Boxster every time. Just my 2p's worth

I keep looking at Caymans as well. Not driven one though as I know that if I do, I'm 100% sure I'll be signing my life on the line and driving away with one 
. No self control whatsoever.
