I am the third owner of this car and that may be one owner too many. Every 3 months or so something new goes wrong with it, and I have a laundry list of parts I need to restore it like new. Don't get me wrong, I love this car like the mother of a new born baby, but it just never stays in operation. I highly recommend it if you already have a daily driver and want a fun car for the weekend, but if you use it everyday like I do, your heart will be broken again and again.
Hard to beat!

After driving BMWs most of my life, it's a real treat to get my hands on this car. Not knocking the BMWs - the Z4 looks like an incredible automobile but I don't want to buy first year of new model. Besides, every guy should own a Porsche at least once in his life!

You can't buy a Boxster expecting to get a Carrera or an M5... If you need .5 seconds faster in 0-60 there are a lot cheaper ways to go, but if you're shopping Porsche it's probably because you *want* one-- you're not looking for a cheaper ride. Yep, it has rattles with the top up and the stereo is marginal. What are you doing with the top up and stereo on? Get a BMW sedan. The real sound system is 6" behind your head! When cornering I've never driven a better car; the looks still turn heads all day; and it sounds amazing @5300RPM. Seriously consider a 3-6 month old used one-- some serious savings over the sticker price.
the good, the not so good but not bad

The Good: Excellent handling especially around turns, fun with the top down, overall design, steering wheel, cup holders, quick, good engine sound, Dealership response to problems usually within the same day. The not so good: plastic rear window, rattle in door, manual seat adjustments, minor electrical issues. They don't call it a boxster for nothing. What you buy is the box...everything else is extra. For the money, some things should be included (wheel emblems, floor mats, etc.). It just feels like they are nickel and diming you.
Great Car.

I tested about everything before getting the Boxster S; Audi TT, BMW Z, Ferrari, MB, 911, etc. All things considered, the S was the clear winner. I guess the bottom line is, If I were buying today, I would still choose a Boxster. Although I would probably buy a used one that was low milage.
