I have owned my Guards Red 2001 Boxster S for about 2 years now...my first Porsche. The Germans really know how to engineer and building a sports car! Within a month or two of purchasing my S, however, I was already planning my upgrade. The cockpit could use a little more room (I am 6'-2)...and of course as a car enthusiast I would love so more horsepower! Of course thats why they make the 911. All in all, the S is one hell of roadster for us "high end" sports car beginners...

Fun car to drive, lots of thumbs up from other drivers. Shocked when I went to trade it at 7 months and 7,000 miles to find value had dropped by 25-30%...dealer says Porsche shipping too many into US market. A squeak/rattle trap with top up .

2001 Porsche Boxster S

This is my second Porsche. I had a 1986 911 Carrera which I sold and bought the Boxster S. This car is as fun to drive as my 911 Carrera but more comfortable and with the convertible top. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes Porsches.

The Porsche Boxster is an extension of the driver. The steering is precise, the brakes are right there, the midship mounted engine is very responsive, and the car is well balanced. Mine is a daily driver that handles driving slowly in town and at speed on country roads equally well.

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.
