What a fun car to drive. Shifting the manual transmission is easy and fast with tight, short. precise movements. This car will get up to really fast, really fast. The driving position can be highly controlled with the seat adjustments and tilting and telescoping steering wheel. When done right, it feels like I'm wearing the car. This is not an economy car. It requires premium gasoline and maintenance is expensive. The driving pleasure is well worth it though. Putting the top down and hearing the sound of that distinctive Porsche motor makes the world a better place. Someone asked if I was going through my second childhood. I said I never left my first. My whole life I've owned several convertibles and sports cars. This is the best yet!

My Boxster S

Like with all cars there are so pros and some cons. The Boxster S does give you the overall speed and control that all speed junkies want to see. It has tight steering and the ability to move through every area as if it was built for the road you are on. You can put the top down and feel free no matter if you are in downtown traffic or on the open road. The only thing I find that is disappointing is that most of the interior parts are plastic and do not last. All of the Porsche lovers want to see their car last and this will not happen with most of the plastics on the inside of the car. This is really the only thing I have found that is a con so all in all it is a wonderful and enjoyable experience to own my Porsche.

This is my second Boxster S so I'm very happy with the styling, handling, and performance. The cost of options is ridiculous. Plus there is a long wait time for "exclusive" options. Beware that options don't appreciably improve resale value so select them carefully. Some options should have been standard such as automatic climate control. The second generation Boxsters (Starting with the'05 model) are greatly improved in almost all ways. I wasn't expecting much difference from my '01 S but was amazed how much improved the '06 S was - certainly enough to compel me to pay the cost of upgrading. Beware that the residual value for used Boxsters is lower than 911s. This could be expensive if you don't intend to keep the car.

This car seems to be well thought out with easy to see displays and a trip computer that provides exceptional trip information. It is fast off the mark, smooth at speeds over 70 mph, and sticks to corners like glue. I use for business trips <250 miles. The two trunks are still small, but I find that, with creativity, all needed items can be stored. The two coat hooks on the back of the seats let me store my suit coat. The seating positioning is comfortable, but only for those who are 6 feet tell and under. I suggest adding protective coating (option) to protect front and wheel areas from nicks from stones, etc.. I have put 2,300 miles on mine in 10 days, enjoying the journey as much as destination! Buy it!
Fun, fun, fun, fun..........

I traded in my BMW 330 for this great machine - passing up the BMW Z4. All it took was one test drive and I was hooked. Driving the twisties is as fun in this car as it is on my motorcycle! Top down, wind in my hair, the sweet music of the exhaust - could you ask for more? The BMW was comfortable, but this car rocks! We get a little bit of rain here in Oregon, so not having to stop to put up the top when it sprinkles is a plus.
