Porsche 2020 Boxter S
My 2020 Porsche Boxter S is the best Porsche model I have owned. It is my daily driver. Over the years I have had a 924, 944, 968 and 911. The Boxter is the best of all of them. The performance is fantastic and I have had many people comment on how great it looks!
The best there is
I recently bought a certified low-mileage Boxster S. I strongly recommend getting a CPO car, since the depreciation has already occurred. The original MSRP for my car was $89,800, and I got it (with 10,000 miles) for $66,000. That, I think, is a very desirable saving. When shopping for a CPO car, be sure to check the in-service date, since the length of the warranty will be based on that. As far as options go, they can be very costly, as is well known. My car included a very nice all leather interior which cost a lot more than I would have paid on a new car. I recommend PASM, not necessarily for the better ride, but because it gives the car a more solid feeling. I have had cars both ways, and having PASM is better. My car has a six-speed transmission. After driving PDK cars for a while, I decided to go with a manual. I also encourage that, unless a manual transmission makes you uneasy. A six-speed is lighter and less expensive than a PDK, and adding lightness is important. If you do get a PDK, get the Sports Chrono option, which will give you launch control. As for the engine, I like the larger S engine. The car that I traded was a base car, which was fine, but the extra power is nice to have, By the way, you can’t tell an S for certain by twin tailpipes - my base car had them. I considered a GTS, but I don’t think that that version offers any real advantage over the S.

4th Boxster, better than ever!
Our Carrera White PDK 718 Boxster S is our 4th Boxster and without a doubt the best overall Boxster yet. The biggest difference in the new series is the motor. The sound is less compelling at lower RPM’s but the power is intoxicating throughout the rev range. The 981/982 series has always felt more refined vs the 987 series and with that a bit less connected at times. Perhaps it’s lightening of parts that’s lost a certain heft to things like the doors closing or the switch to electric steering. There’s a smoothed out refined demeanor that translates to a smoothness in effort on the road along with a maturity about the cars. The new 718 has taken that to the next level of refined sofistication and driving excellence. It’s next to impossible not to be smooth and enjoy this car when driving a backroad. The interior and exterior are subjectively the best looking yet. All in all we are very pleased with this next genation and it really rounds out what one expects or needs in a sports car.

Boxster Chalkster
Having owned 7 Porsches over many years, this is my most favorite. It is fun to drive, handles like a true sports car, and with my Porsche of Plano tune is outrageously fast. Brakes are the same as my 911 4S and it stops on a dime. Plus it is sleek and beautiful in Chalk with a black top. Has almost every option a d I keep finding more everything I read the manual. And nothing can beat the Porsche PDK transmission. Try one. You'll love it.
Silver bullet!!!!
I bought my 2017 718 S with 6,500 miles. $21,000 below sticker price. It is a beautiful unbelievable driving machine. My advice to anyone looking for a Boxster is to search the market for low mileage pre owned. Lot of fun and so rewarding to lock a deal down. I love this car and will have for years. PDK is so fast and fun!!!!
