2020 Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder Review

- Precise, nimble handling promotes driver fun and confidence
- Powerful flat-six engine with a fantastic exhaust note
- No compromise in performance compared to the hardtop Cayman GT4
- Some features you'd expect to be standard are optional
- Breadth of options allows personalization but gets pricey in a hurry
- Manually folding roof requires you get out to operate it
- Lack of insulation in the roof means a louder cabin
- Two new models debut -- the sporty Boxster T and high-performance Boxster Spyder
- Boxster GTS takes a one-year hiatus
- Part of the fourth Boxster generation introduced for 2017
Quite simply, the 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder is an open-top version of the hardcore Cayman GT4. We loved the looks of the previous Boxster Spyder, last made for the 2016 model year, but it was missing many of the special mechanical bits that made the GT4 such an appealing car. Now, though, the Spyder is a fully fledged Porsche Motorsport product, which means it gets a suspension derived from the 911 GT3 and the same 4.0-liter non-turbo flat-six engine. The flat-six produces 414 horsepower at 7,600 rpm, with a cited 0-60 mph time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 187 mph — impressive for any car, let alone a convertible.
The roof isn't a conventional convertible top like you get in the standard 718 Boxster. Instead, the Spyder has a manually folding top, without much of the sound-deadening and insulation found in regular Boxsters. Folding down the roof only requires a few basic movements, though, and doing so is easy enough. It's also worth the effort. Opening up the Spyder adds another dimension to the driving experience you get with the new GT4, and one that is arguably even more enjoyable.

Should I lease or buy a 2020 Porsche 718 Boxster?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
