#32 Well, you have one point there...I searched for models about 4 years old, give or take, to try to retain relevance to the car the OP was looking at. Top speed of a 2007 Boxster S is a mere 169. Then again, I have yet to see a case where the difference between being able to go 180 in everyday life vs. being limited to a measly 169 ever made a huge difference in the life of anyone who bought one intending it to be a daily driver. Most of us commute a bit more slowly than 169 mph to work.
As for not being able to do a burnout, if you cannot light up the tires on a modern-day Porsche (and I know I shouldn't use the word, but desperately inane claims call for drastic measures), you are a retard who should never be allowed to pilot a car ever again. ****, I had a five speed in my former everyday driver, a PT Cruiser. I prefer a manual transmission, as I like the driving experience, it helps make up a little for an underpowered car, and I don't have to worry about stop and go traffic.
The PT, with something like 170 HP is even capable of laying down a couple stripes on pavement, unless you're a complete tool. I did so a couple times, just to amuse myself by watching the tires of a PT light up.
