Problem with the Boxter is the mid-engine placement, which limits how far the seat can go back, and limits how far it can be reclined.

I somehow feel I would've been at home in its twin with a fixed roof. Sadly awd is not an option south of 911 and having kids I guess cayenne would've been a better option for me. But, alas, there is no manual, I think, only DSG or a slushbox.

And you can change gears faster than a DSG?

That would depend.

If it's a 7 speed box and I'm changing from 7 to 6... ...no.

But if I'm slowing for a hairpin, and want to change from 7 to 2...

I'm so sick of "too bad this car doesn't have a manual gearbox" sh*t, because in high end vehicles such as the Cayenne, It's miles ahead of any manual gearbox.
