Has anyone here driven a 718 Boxster S?

Spouse and I drove one this weekend with Sport Chrono. (She's been missing her Z3 and thinking about adding a roadster at some point.) Although dismissive that it could be anything special, she was blown away by the handling and is pretty convinced she wants some sort of Boxster in the future.

Not sure how it compares to the 6 cylinder predecessor? (I haven't driven one in years, and it was probably a base car.)

This purchase won't happen for some time, but, I'd likely advise her to wait for a good example of a 2016 6 cylinder to come off lease. (Stick vs. PDK is also up for debate, but the choice will be ultimately be hers.)

Thoughts?
