I'm not sold on the Base model

My 2010 Base was in the shop for major maintenance so I got to drive this Boxster around for three days. After those three days, I was mostly happy to get my older Boxster back. My '17 Boxster had a number of options including 20" wheels and PDK. I have a number of gripes with the car: 1) acceleration isn't linear. The turbo kick reminded me a bit of a Saab 900 Turbo. 2) The view out back is greatly restricted. What happened to the rear window? 3) The engine sound is atrocious, like a chain-driven aircooled Beetle met a 2.5L Subaru. 4) Gross absence of storage nooks. // That said, no doubt this car is faster and looks better. Handling was a tad softer and the steering slightly less communicative. Surprisingly comfy for 20" wheels. Otherwise, very similar experiences. I'd like to test a 2.5T or the GTS.

Much better acceleration then two models back. Great acceleration at higher speeds too. Top speed of 170 mph with 0 - 60 in 4.9 seconds. PDK is faster 4.2 and 177mpg, but i love stick. Those glorious cup holders are still there. Enough space in back and front trunks. Bluetooth integration easy. Garage door opener can be programmed easily too. Love the new body style, more elegant, sporty and aggressive looking. Don’t have navigation, as I like Siri via Maps, and Sirius Satellite was free for three months but I never renewed as I didn’t use it. Careful as the front air damn is extremely close to the ground. Be careful in driveways and dips. I don’t have break assist to speak to. The only thing I should have gotten is automatic mirror retraction and side and rear view mirror dimming. The value of the car dropped precipitously at the year and year and a half marks, but this is expected in a new sports car. Basically it’s art! I rated a lot of catagories with “ok” as 5 Stars, but this just meant those attributes didn’t matter to me or didn’t apply. So, as you can tell, the only negatives for me are low front airdamn, road traction to a slight degree (I do tend to drive quickly), depreciation and, I forgot, mileage is better than the previous model but is still so so.

This car can be defined by the word intentional. Everything about it is about driving with a smile on your face. A very well designed and engineered sports car that has been a joy to own.

Sublime handing, comfortable, much faster than expected, this is simply the best toy car I have ever owned. It is unfortunate that the dealer fraudulently used my social security number and personal information to sell other cars. I am still fighting with credit agencies to get my good name back more than a year later.
