Especially with the more powerful S engine, the Boxster is a pure sports car with unmatched handling, steering and braking.
Despite the handling-oriented chassis, the day-to-day ride is admirable.
Many of the Porsche's features work well. The notable exception is the radio and air conditioning controls, which consist of an excess of small, fiddly buttons.
The Boxster integrates classic Porsche design cues with an outstanding shape. Build quality and interior materials are high-grade.
