My Boxster is a blast to drive. I can't wait to go on a long road trip! It takes a little while to get the engine noise off your mind, but the pipes on the exhaust let you forget about it once you get on the pedal.

I previously owned a '99 blk on blk Boxster in '04. That car blew an engine at 72k miles that cost me $12k to replace. Due to my passion (possible stupidity) I traded in for a '06 Arctic Silver Boxster fully loaded. So far, I have finally had the Porsche experience but miss some of the 986 raw elements. The new '06 is more refined and had the gadgets but lacks some of the 986 prowlness and agility. Overall, the Boxster can't be beat. Buy one and see for yourself what fun you can have.

A Tip Of The Hat To Porsche's Engineers

2006 Porsche Boxster S 2dr Convertible (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

Wow - The new Porsche Boxster S is an absolutely awesome machine. Porsche's engineers have combined body styling suitable for an art museum with the best mechanical engineering I have ever seen in an automobile. With the mid engine design and tiptronic auto/manual transmission even an average driver can feel like a NASCAR driver. This car is easy and fun to drive. You would think the car is mounted on rails when making sharp turns at, shall we say, excessive speeds. Porsche's engineers have designed the ultimate practical fun sports car. My girlfriend and I find the cabin very comfortable during 2 1/2 hour back road trips. The S combines awsome power great stability and superb brakes.

The Boxster is a fun to drive car. I have an automatic. The ride is firm and it hugs the road.The top is a breeze to put down and the windows lower when ever you open the door or put the top down. It gets manny a looks by other drivers and it has get up and go with a push of the pedal. This is such a great car that we ordered a second one for my wife .

The Only True Sports Car

I used to own the '04 Boxster...now fast forward to November '06 and I just leased the new model. It surpasses a car I didn't think could be surpassed! It has exceptional handling, total control, and an exquisite ride (for 18" wheels). This car does it all and leaves the competition in the dust! The "S" model delivers the high power some of you may require...but the regular Boxster is a driver's "dream come true!" The Japanese manufacturers wish they could make a car drive like this one! The American's don't even bother to try. What a roadster. What an intimate experience between the driver and the road...it's unbeatable!
