Might not go to high being a non S.
So I drove this car a few times...

It's about even in a straight line against the same year Boxster S.

The gearbox is balkier.

The engine is tuned a bit better, you want to rev it more. You feel less shove/torque at lower rpms compared to the Boxster S. So even as their acceleration numbers are identical, in driving feel this is more like a faster base Boxster that needs to be revved.

Other than these, there is nothing wrong with these cars. The base needed more careful optioning than the S due to some performance options being standard on the S.
