Used 2003 Porsche Boxster Consumer Reviews
A Future Classic
I've had this car for almost two years and haven't regretted buying it. Great reliability and fun to drive. A used Boxster is a great deal. My only misgiving is that the base model lacks low end torque - it is necessary to wind out the engine to 4000+ rpm to get good acceleration.
Fun Car
While the Boxster isn't the "awe- inspiring" look as the 911, it is an awesome little car. I traded an 00' 911 cab, so I do have insight in comparisons. Actually I've enjoyed the Box more, the reasons: more luggage space, but more than that, is like having a trained dog vs. an untrained one. The 911 seems to always be at the end of the leash, pulling out of control, while the Box is a very enjoyable "walk" (ride) in the park.

Wonderful Boxster
I have a Tiptronic Boxster, which not an option in the dropdown. Even with Tiptronic, the gear shifting using the switches on the steering wheel is a dream and "I am in a racing car". I have wanted a Porsche all my life, and this makes my commute enjoyable for the first time. The engine is wonderful, the exhaust sound marvelous, and it as if the car is on rails when cornering. Lots of luggage space. Convertible top is easy to use. Great value for money and the best car I have ever had and a tribute to Porsche.
Fun! As Soon As You See It
Black/Black/Black....Fun, Fun, Fun! I know the "S" is faster, bigger wheels, etc. How much more did I really need? This was a great decision and for a first timer, even more than imagined. Excellent handling, turns heads at every light - in other vehicles as I'm blowing by them...the only ones that seem disinterested are 911 owners (imagine that)...now to dream of the GT.
I love this car
This is our 3rd Porsche and what a pleasant surprise. This car is so easy to drive! The mid engine design allows this car to be driven so hard. You feel so confident driving this car fast. The materials are great, with the exception of some cheap plastic inside. The power top is wonderful and fast. Awesome looks! Great interior, comfortable seats, lots of storage and yes, Awesome looks - did I already mention that this car looks incredible! If you get one, go for the 2003 and newer. You get a glass rear window, more power and a glove box. Those additional items are worth the extra money. Also, you don't need to get a stick in this car - the tiptronic works well and is easy to use.
