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.
