Comfort
Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the BMW 335, the Porsche Boxster may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.
Convenience
The Porsche Boxster will require fewer stops at the gas station than the BMW 335, making it more convenient to drive.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Porsche Boxster will have less of an impact on your bank account than the BMW 335.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Porsche Boxster and the BMW 335 have similar Destination Charges.
Dimensions
The Porsche Boxster is about the same width as the BMW 335.
If you go with the Porsche Boxster, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the BMW 335.
Drivetrain
The Porsche Boxster has much less torque than the BMW 335, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
Handling
The Porsche Boxster has about the same turning radius as the BMW 335, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
Performance
The Porsche Boxster has less horsepower than the BMW 335, so it will probably be somewhat slower.
Utility
The Porsche Boxster has less seating than the BMW 335, making the BMW 335 the better choice if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
The Porsche Boxster has significantly less cargo room than the BMW 335, which may be a concern if you do a lot of warehouse shopping.
Warranty
