Used 2021 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 Consumer Reviews

What a car

The performance of the turbo four is excellent, but the 4.0 NA engine is a different beast. The Boxster simply drives and does exactly what you ask of it, and feels wonderful doing so. Add in the flat 6 (even with the GPF pipes that Europe gets) and it sounds and drives amazing. The engine note is a little muted versus the 981 (2012 - 2016) Boxster, but has actually grown on me over that engine's note when on the boil, not to mention the added punch through the whole rev range. Put it in Sport Plus with the PDK, and the engine sings along from 3500 to redline the whole time, and feels natural and comfortable doing so. It is not an inexpensive Porsche, and honestly, after a couple of air cooled 911s, I never thought I'd have a Boxster, but the 718 is borderline exotic, and to me feels more like the old air cooled 911s than the current 911 (which to me feels more of a GT, especially at +/- 500 lbs more than the Boxster) All in all, a win in my book, and I count myself lucky that I could put one of these somewhat rare beasts in my garage
