Used 2003 Porsche Boxster Consumer Reviews
Fantastic! Quick and well built!
I moved from an Audi TT Roadster 225 Quattro to a Porsche Boxster. The Boxster feels more solid on the road, feels quicker off the line than the TT (even though they are both rated at 225hp.) and is considerably quieter with the top up. The instruments are well placed! Quality is fantastic! Overall an excellent sports car.
DMD RATES THE BOXSTER
THE BOXSTER HAS A UNIQUE EXHAUST NOTE THAT WILL MAKE YOU TURN DOWN THE EXCELLENT SOUND SYSTEM TO HEAR THE SWEET MUSIC THAT THE FLAT 6 MAKES. THE COCKPIT IS LAID OUT PERFECTLY, IF YOU SPEND A LITTLE EXTRA FOR A MIXTURE OF STAINLESS STEEL AND ALUMINUM, THE INTERIOR HAS SPORTS CAR WRITTEN ALL OVER IT. THE STEERING AND BRAKES ARE GREAT AND EASILY THE BEST IN THIS PRICE RANGE. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT MY BOXSTER, AND WOULD RECOMMEND ONE TO ANYONE!!!

sensuous
Its with great pleasure that I drive my 2004 boxster...no other vehicle I've driven stirs the senses with a dash of adrenaline. The immediate response to the gas pedal puts you comfortably into the soft seats while hugging the road. Shifting is short and sweet with solid consistency.Well worth the price for a sensuous vehicle.
Disappointing number of rattles
Yes, it's a convertible, but Toyota and Lexus convertibles seem to not suffer from the number of squeaks and rattles the Boxster does, especially with the Hard Top option. But in a nutshell. no other vehicle handles like the Boxster. When taking turns on twisty roads you will think the car is violating the laws of physics as there is no excitement, the car just TURNS. The phrase "corners as if on rails" is overused, but in the case of the Boxster it's as if the car is riding atop a monorail. You will need to find new roads to conquer as all your old favorite twisties will, to be blunt, become BORING in the Boxster.
Boxster S
Overall, a fantastic car. Although there are faster cars for less $ out there, nothing handles like it. By far the best-looking convertible on the road in my opinion. Two problem areas I've had though - terribly squeaky clutch that the dealer took 2 days to fix, and a minor exhaust leak that was also fixed. Otherwise, a great car. A 911 would be nice, but this car looks almost identical on the interior and the front half of the exterior, for $30k less.
