My first Porsche (updated)

2017 Porsche 718 Boxster 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
I bought one of the first 718's available, though not on purpose. I was shopping for a used Boxster but the 718 looks so much better and it's so much faster, it was very hard to resist. I have a base model with "only" about 20K in options - PDK, wheels, nav, lighting upgrades, and the premium package. The purchasing experience at Sunset Imports was very pleasant and quite easy. I've … driven it about 1000 miles so far so it's not even broken in yet, but this is easily the best car I've ever had the pleasure of driving. (Update) I've now had the car for most of a year, and have joined the local chapter of the Porsche Club. The 718 continues to delight me, even when it's sitting in the garage waiting for the snow to melt. It's rock solid, with no issues or trouble at all, and a pure joy to drive. I've taken it on several long road trips and find that it gets better gas mileage the faster you go. Who would have guessed? :) I can't recommend this car enough. Drive one and you'll see.
7th Heaven in 718S Boxster

2017 Porsche 718 Boxster S 2dr Convertible (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
I purchased my 2017 718S Boxster in May of 2017. This is my 7th Porsche since 1991. I have had 4 911's, 1 Panamera E-Hybrid S and 1 2003 Boxster. My 2017 718S Boxster is the best so far. It is amazing how Porsche continues to improve every model of car they build. I am very impressed with the performance of the 4 cyl 2.5L Turbo of the 718 S and the fuel economy is fantastic. My most … previous Porsche was a 2006 Carrera S Tip. up until this current car, was my favorite. Performance was great as well as reliability. I had 90K on it when I sold it and bought my 718S. We decided that we wanted a convertible and with the new styling and improved performance, and fuel economy of the 718, it was a no brainer. The PDK transmission is amazing, fast and perfect. The handling is unparalleled to any car in its class. I don't use it as a weekend car, but drive it on a regular basis. I bought it in May and have 6K on the car now and it is glorious. Id recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic performing sports car that is great looking, fast and fuel efficient. 5 Stars all the way Porsche! Keep it going!!!

2018 Porsche 718 Boxster S 2dr Convertible (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
Our first Porsche was a 914-4 when we were first married 50 years ago, BK (before kids). It was great fun. We vowed that we'd get other Porsches when we were able. A few years ago we bought a 2011 Cayman S Black edition, loved it but had to part with it to make room for the grandkids this time. After retirement, we moved back to the town where we grew up, and started a "Tops Down" … club with our life long friends. We toured remote parts of Oregon in our Mini Cooper S convertible for a year or so, but still remembered our 914-4 fondly. We found the 718 Boxster S at Porsche Beaverton and fell in love with it. This car is perfect, lots of fun, great power. I thought I would miss the 6 cylinder of the Cayman, but I don't. The 718's turbo 4 has more power, is definitely faster, and the PDK is a dream. The sound of 4 reminds us the 914, but 718 demonstrates 50 years of constant improvement. We are very happy with the 718!
The best there is

2018 Porsche 718 Boxster S 2dr Convertible (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
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.
