Used 2000 Porsche Boxster Consumer Reviews
Never again
While I agree with all the positive comments about the Boxster my bought new 2000 suffered a bearing failure at 22,000 miles and five years which required total engine replacement. Factory 3/36 had run out. No consideration from Porsche. Known problem. I could have bought many more Porsches in my life but never again.
One of the world's best sports cars
This is one of the world's greatest sports cars. The handling is both confident and communicative. The steering feedback is fantastic. The chassis is extremely stiff, especially for a convertible. The engine note is intoxicating and the power, although not amazing, is still very strong. More than enough to get you into trouble. It's relatively light compared to it's contemporaries (and the 911). I love this car. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

It's hard to do better.
This car was purchased about a month ago with around 34,000 miles on the clock, but I have to say that it feels and drives like a brand new car. The steering is direct and full of feel. The engine pulls urgently from 3,500rpm and sounds fantastic doing it, and the 6-speed manual is a model of precision. The seats are comfortable, and the interior still looks great even eight years after the car was built. I would have no trouble recommending a Boxster S to anyone in the market for a two-seat drop top.
Took the Plunge
After a Merc, BMW, Corvette an S4 I was fed up with high cost motors. I waited for the Crossfire, although it looked great, the cost was high the dealer wanted 10k over MSRP not to mention resale value. Here I am a proud owner of a 2nd hand Boxster. The car has legs, an amazing ammount of room, feels solid and the fuel economy is a dream. This is a safe buy, good resale value, high performance, low insurance commuter vehicle. Why risk it, get a second hand porsche and live the life !
Good Car
The Porsche Boxster is a good automobile. It is fun to drive, easy to maintain, gets great gas mileage, has a good design, and it has plenty of room for two + luggage.
