I'd prefer to limit the number of vehicles. For even money, one car is better than two and a two seater would necessitate a second car. That's okay, but not a first choice.

The Boxster/Cayman has never done anything for me emotionally and I did not enjoy the two years I competed in JV's 986. I always thought it would be a nice car for driving around as a car (rather than a competition vehicle), but it always left me feeling cold and indifferent. On paper, it's positioned really well, but I think, "Do I want this?" and the answer is usually, "no." Shrug.
If the Q45 is of interest, try the M37 or M37x - they're fantastically fast and comfortable. My father in-law had one, but sold it once his eyesight became compromised. I liked driving it.

In your price range, a clean, late model example should be an easy find.
