Great car

I've had this car 6 years and have really loved it. Mechanically, I've really haven't had any big issues outside of changing 7 headlights (this may be specific to the electrical system in my car). Also if you are hit and run while parked, I promise no one is going leave a note with insurance information (happened twice). Lastly probably as a result of the beautiful aerodynamic body design, I have had more dings in my windshield than I can count (I have 5 right now - I'll get to 6 and change out the windshield again). If you can see past these very minor issues, I would guess you'd be very happy to own this car. I have been.

What a super car. I always wanted an old speedster and boy am I glad I did not find one, and selected this car instead. This is all of the fun of a speedster but with all of the modern conviences

'99 Boxster is excellent 2nd owner car!

This older model, low-end Porsche drives better than any of the top of the line cars from other manufacturers. It is quick, solid and takes curves better than any other car on the road. After a year and a half my daily work commute is still an exciting experience. I can drive anywhere, park anywhere and the valets fight for my keys! If this is Porsche's basic model, I can't even imagine what a Carrera must be like.

What an amazing auto! Even more fun to drive than it appears! Plenty of HP and zip, when necessary, and handling that makes you hope you never have to drive another car! And I thought golf made me itch for the spring/summer months!!

My Boxster has no substitute

After many hours of research on a convertible I thought a Benz was the way to go. Fortunately, I test drove the Boxter as well. No comparison! This car handles like nothing I have ever driven. And the response of the engine is that of a finely tuned machine. The design is sleek, sexy and powerful and taking a curve at 60+ miles and hour instead of the posted 25 is the best weekend thrill! This is what driving is all about and those that think an SUV is the way to go, well, you have no idea what you're missing. There is no substitute - Porsche has it figured out.
