Used 2001 Porsche Boxster Consumer Reviews
Always fun to drive.
The Porsche Boxster is always a pleasure to get in and drive. Wheather you go for a leasurly drive with the top down or rev up the RPMs to almost 7000 you have the response and controle of a true sports car. Never get tired of getting and driving this car.
Fun Car for the Twisties
I bought my Boxster used and it is by far the finest handling car I have ever driven, that includes several other Porsches. The steering, balance and brakes permit you to drive turns very fast with no discomfort for you or the passenger. It has required no unscheduled maintenance in 56,000 miles, uses no oil and averages about 27 mpg. The chassis could handle more power (but I could have bought and "S" if that is what I was looking for). There are no water leaks, the top is still like new as are the paint and interior. These are great used car buys because of considerable depreciation compared to a 911. Just be sure to have an experienced Porsche mechanic do a pre- purchase inspection to avoid surprises.

Ignition switch replacement
My Boxster needs an ignition switch replacement and my research indicates that the part sells for approximately $35. The dealership I go to informed me this morning that there has been a change in how they replace them now. They cannot just change that one part; they must do the entire assemby. Quoted me over $600. Can anyone tell me if this sounds realistic? Thank you.
disapointed
This car sells by its looks only. My 1997 Jeep has more options on it. Dont plan to resell your Boxster because you will get half of what you paid. Thanks Porsche for shipping as many Boxsters as Ford shipped Taurus.
GREAT car
More fun than one should have with clothes on!
