2008 Porsche Boxster

by Raffaele5422 on 12-07-2016
Lots of fun on a used Honda budget
I love this car. The performance is just outstanding. The build quality is extremely high. Try taking one apart. I drive it regularly and have over 150,000 km on it with just oil changes and regular scheduled factory maintenance. If you have the spare change you need to get one. Cost of operation and price is at a used Honda level. You figure it out... a used Honda or a Porsche..

One and only.
I have owned a Porsche Boxter S for over a few years, one thing for sure when you are behind the wheels you don't want to stop driving. Never had any disappointing situations, whether it was riding the car or maintaining it. Perfect balance of power and handling especially when compared to cars in its class. If you crave for a well-balanced power and perfect handling vehicle, this car for sure will make your jaw hurt from smiling.

They just keep getting better and better!
This is my forth Boxster and they just keep getting better and better. More power, more standard features along with the best handling on the planet. The adrenalin rush, enter into a nicely curved ramp, excellerate moderatly, then drop back to second gear, and put your right foot down, and enjoy!

1999 Porsche Boxster

by Geoff-9 on 09-13-2015
Fun cheap sports car
The handling of the Boxster is amazing, you can put it exactly where you want it to be and surprisingly comfortable, the car has more than enough power to have a tonne of fun with on the road.

Ive owned the car for several years and has been fairly reliable so far

The Boxster is getting on in age but still looks modern and gets a lot of attention. Am happy with my purchase and plan to have it for a long time

2011 Porsche Boxster

Trim: Spyder
by Zeus on 09-28-2014
Incredible car...
This is my 3rd Porsche and by far the most analog, most visceral, most fun. The Boxster Spyder is a stripped down, HP increased, advanced suspension Boxster with a beautiful distinct head-turning shape. I moved into it after an 08 Twin Turbo cab (everyone's dream car) because I wanted something that would stick a perma-grim on my face and this car does not disappoint. It's acceleration is appreciably similar to the Turbo because, while being ONLY 320 HP, it's 844 lbs lighter! Note: for every 1000 lbs you gain 100 HP, so it's actually pretty close to the Turbo.
It's manual (yes - manual) top may not be for the faint of heart but after a couple times rigging it up it's really not an issue. Sure, it's not as convenient as a typical convertible but I keep it down most of the time.
Storage is excellent with both a frunk (front trunk) and a rear compartment.
James May (Top Gear) described this car as a "happy dog chasing a ball" and I would agree 100%. And with only some 1944 odd made world wide, a beautiful design, and the last of the analog (non-electric) steering I believe this car will hold it's value.
Huge bang for you buck.

Absolutely Love This Car!
I purchased this car from Pfaff 2 years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed driving it. Without a doubt the most fun car I have ever driven. Although it's a 2005, car looks brand new. If you've never owned a Porsche this is a great opportunity to buy a very high quality vehicle at a low price. You will love it!

Porsche Boster
I got this car close to 2 years a go and I love it! is a super stable, super fast and for the machine is quite good gasoline requirements. The stability while is being driven in a highway is incredible... The faster you go the more grounded to the floor it feels and this car has been taken care so much by me and past owner. That is in a great shape

Greatest sports car ever...best summer ride!
It grabs the road like no other especially the curved roads.
Having the engine in the middle gives great stability as well as give you so much space for luggage in the front and at the back on the car.

2006 Porsche Boxster

by Boxsterin on 06-21-2013
The most fun to drive car I've ever owned.
We've taken this car on drives ranging from a hundred kilometres to 11,000 km cross country trips. The seats are comfortable and supportive on a long drive. For a sports car, there's lots of luggage space for 2 people. On a trip, I get the front trunk and my wife gets the one in the back.

The car handles like a dream and has been 100% reliable in 66,000 km of driving. Considering the performance this car delivers, I'm quite happy with the fuel economy which ranges from about 11 l/100 km around town to 8 l/100km on the highway.

2008 Porsche Boxster

Trim: Preferred Package Plus
by BoxsterPaul on 06-19-2013
2008 standard Boxster
This car is always fund to drive, but particularly top down. I use it daily to commute to the office and always enjoy the ride home. Enough horse power at 245 and the mid engine weight distribution has the car stuck to the road. High speed cornering is thrilling. The car is well built inside and out and I often get compliments on its appearance. Silver is the colour for Porsche.
The only draw back - everyone around me on the road wants to drive fast!

True drivers car
We have put 40,000 kms on the car and every one of those has been a joy. It's been reliable, cheap to operate with an average fuel economy of 28 mpg and 34 mpg on the highway. It has tons of storage space and can be used as a daily driver It has a pleasant ride but somehow has amazing handling. I let my buddy who is a hardcore Corvette guy borrow the car for an afternoon and he was hooked, immediately selling his Vette to get one of these cars. We love the car so much that we are selling it to buy another one.

by TAD on 04-20-2013
What a fantastic car!
I have owned two Boxsters, the latest one a 2007 Boxster S with a 6 Speed transmission.

I bought the Boxster S because I wanted a bit more power and I certainly got plenty of power!

The car is fast, fun to drive on twisty backroads with the top down and very reliable. It is also quite practical with a large trunk up front and a reasonable sized trunk in the back. I have fit three large bags of soil and 9 full grocery bags into the car after a trip to Walmart!

The Boxster interior is comfortable and comes with great options like a Bose sound system, xenon lights, power seats, navigation, multi CD holder and the like. I highly recommend this car.

2003 Porsche Boxster

2003 Boxster
For a small entry level price, you're getting exotica feeling.
Fast and fun and not bad in gas. More luggage space then any of the other Porsche cars. Front and rear trunk space.
Because of the mid engine design, this isn't the best car for a weekend mechanic to play on., but it's beautiful, functional
and great in the sun with the top down. Coffee cup holder could be larger though

A real sport car
I love driving this car because it is a real sport car if I compare it to my other convertible (Mercedes 560 SL 1989) which is really a roadster or a Grand Touring. Of course, they are both German machines which are well put together and reliable. As for the exterior appearance they are both georgious.

1999 Porsche Boxster

by Ford_Fusion on 12-30-2012
The Not-So-Sporty Sports Car
It may just be getting old, but the Boxster is all wrong. It's not as fun as a Porsche is expected to be; lacking both speed and handling. It is also as unreliable as an ex-girlfriend. Every so often, something somewhere unimaginable goes wrong. Whether it's something in the clutch or that problem in all of the Porsches made around the late 90s, the car just stops working, and it costs a fortune to get it fixed up. I bought it cheap, but know I know why.

1998 Porsche Boxster

by igork007 on 12-25-2012
One of the most fun cars you could ever own.
The Porsche Boxster is one of the most fun cars you will ever drive. The balance of the car is incredible and it's so easy to drive at the limit. Yes there are faster cars out there but none will make you feel like a pro more than a Boxster. They are inexpensive to buy and surprisingly inexpensive to own. Gas mileage is fantastic and while parts are definitely more expensive than Ford or Toyota, they great thing is that you rarely have to replace them. Boxster reliability is excellent and as long as you do the regular maintenance you will get years of enjoyment.
