Used 2000 Porsche Boxster Consumer Reviews
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!

SSSSSuper
I purchased this used last June. It is awesome. It is like hitting to within 1 foot of the pin on a par three every time I get in it!

Fun in the sun, but lacks torque
My Boxster has been a great car. The most confidence inspiring and best handling car that I've ever owned. I also have a Viper GTS and the Boxster instills much more confidence - though it doesn't have the torque or sex appeal of the Viper. Still, it's a fun car - very useful for every day driving. I used to own a Miata - which was a great car, but was frustrating to drive because of its lack of power. Think of the Boxster as a better Miata. It goes faster and can handle the turns faster - but the over-all driving experience is very simiilar to the Miata. Whether the Boxster is worth the extra 20K over a Miata could be well argued, but hey, it's a Porsche.
The best for your money
I have owned the car for 3 yrs. It is head-turner with plenty of power. People who complain about lack of power, perhaps need to use the Tiptronic to their advantage. It is truly absolute fun. Yes, you can get a more powerful engine with less money but that is not PORSCHE. These are show- and-tell toys for big boys.
Super-fun car
We live in Eugene Oregon, 45 miles from the coast. That's 45 curvy miles. What an absolute blast it is go there and back. Riding north and south on the coast highway, with the roof off, side windows up, and a little floor heat going - you can't beat it! The handling and accelleration is unbelievable!
