Used 2000 Porsche Boxster Consumer Reviews
Awesome
What you have dreamed of all along...
An Excellent Sports Car
From the steering feel, to the velcro handling, to the engine melody ... nothing about the driving experience disappoints. Only two problems have cropped up: A minor oil leak, and a faulty sending unit that left my drop-top in the 'dropped' position. Both fixed under warantee. Regular maintenace at the dealer, however, will cost a bundle. Still, for the money, I have yet to find a car that brings as big a smile to my face as the Boxster.

Realized a dream
I always loved the Gen1 (98-04) Boxsters. Always wanted a silver one. Found a 2000 S in silver with guards red interior with 41K miles in great condition. The car averaged 2200 miles per year and was obviously well cared for. Well I absolutely LOVE it! 6 speed is a blast although the steep 1st gear took a bit of getting used to. The quality of this now 19 year old car is still top notch. It isn't my daily driver and will never see rain/snow if I have anything to say about it. Replaced the original top with a 2004 top (glass rear window) and am SO glad I did. Not cheap to service but it is a rolling piece of art. Handles like a go-kart and loves 4-4500RPM range! It was my dream car and now that I have had it a year I would buy another in a heartbeat!
- Performance
The Porsche Myth?
Can it be that good and different and cost so much to justify owning one? For me the answer is a resounding YES! It's fun, fast, superlative handling AND extremely reliable (After 4 yrs, always once start and drive). No other cars feel like it, the combination of speed AND comfort, it gets downright luxurious cruising the 2lane country byways, utter smoothness and quiet top down/side windows up. Simply amazing, truly one of life's great pleasure.
Boxster
Excellent fun. Needs more power. Excellent handling. Some rattles.
