I am 15, this is a DREAM

As of now, I am 15 years old, and this was my first car! I received it as a GIFT from my uncle. He bought it 7 days before I was born, and held on to it all these years, to gift it to me now. The car has racked up over 149K miles, but still drives like an absolute dream (with a few replacements here and there obviously). This car still shows no problems driving, and can even smoothly break 115mph! The convertible top makes this car much much more fun and worth the money. This car will always be my favorite. Highly suggest.

Great Car!!

It's a great car that really lives up to the Porsche name, but keep in mind it is older. The electronics such as the CPU can be annoying when the weather changes.

A Happy Teenager

My father got this car a couple of years ago and its a helluva lot of fun. Its amazing taking a turn with a sign warning you to go 15 at around 60 and not have a second thought about it. Had a Z3 before the Boxster and it doesnt even compare in terms of handling, style or power. Pricing isnt great, but considering the alternatives, its not bad either. Just watch out cuz 50 turns into 80 real quick when your not payin attention.

Electrical warning

Surprisingly, this car has had numerous annoying minor electrical problems. While they have all been covered with excellent dealer provided service under warranty, the lack of reliability is a bit surprising. Required replacement of: Power window switch and motor; ignition switch (this one caused problems starting the car); turn signal bulb; and headlight switch (not good if your trying to drive home at night). All of this within 9000 miles/3 years.
