That's why Porsche are scary ! Especially early 2.5 boxsters, 996 & 997 ! (brooooaaaa, broooooaaaaa, POUF-pschhhhhhhhh !)
(Last one I've seen was a 997S with 3000km on the clock, 2 weeks ago during a trackday...it really sucks

)
I've drove the 986 Boxster S (but I prefer my Elise...

) and it's one on my favorite Porsche because of the weight repartition compared to a 9XX (except the 964RS that I love) and the sound of the flat 6 when the top is open.
As a daily car in London, I can easily understand you. The best choice might be...... an e-bike !
Just have a test drive beetween the RangeSport the X5 and a Lexus RX400h to make your decision....
