Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the Ford Mustang over the Porsche Boxster.

Convenience
You quite certainly won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Ford Mustang than with the Porsche Boxster, because both offer comparable mileage ranges. You'll doubtless take the Ford Mustang for a fill-up approximately as often as the Porsche Boxster. The Mustang's fuel tank will need to be replenished a tad more often than the unit in the Boxster.

Dimensions
The Ford's tank is about the same size as the Porsche's, though the Boxster's is slightly larger. The Porsche and the Ford Mustang compete for the same parking spaces. The Porsche Boxster's shorter wheelbase will give a more agile feel in daily traffic. On the flip side, the Ford Mustang is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Performance
As far as horsepower, the Porsche Boxster packs quite a wallop and will knock the Ford Mustang down a few rungs. On the flip side, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
The Porsche Boxster has quite a bit wider tires than the Ford Mustang. Remember that bigger tires can improve handling, while narrower tires can provide better handling in deep snow. With its tighter turning radius, the Ford Mustang is very likely more maneuverable than the Porsche, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; however, keep in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Porsche Boxster's engine is considerably smaller than the Mustang's. Keep in mind that smaller engines can be stressed more; however, smaller engines are often cheaper to fix.

Overview
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Ford Mustang isn't quite as generous as the Porsche Boxster's.
