The Only True Sports Car

2006 Porsche Boxster 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 5M)

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!

Best pure sports car anywhere

Porsche has finally given the Boxster its own terrific style and the performance it deserves. This car has unequalled handling, the best braking and slalom times in magazine tests, usable cargo space, amazing seats and upmarket interior, drop dead roadster style ala Carrera GT. For me the Boxster S is so good it is a steal compared to the base Carrera Cab at $30,000 more! Its quality has been excellent, service is reasonable...but buy it for the pure sports car driving experience. I traded a BMW M3 on my 987S because some German cars have forgotten that less weight is more fun than more hp. Porsche has the perfect recipe for performance, style and prestige with the new Boxster!

Not a "Pretender" Sports Car...

What can be said about the new Boxster? Its top of world handling capabilities, more than decent power, elegant German design, and superior build quality make this sports car THE car to measure all other "pretenders" by! This is my second Boxster...we owned an '04 and enjoyed that one before getting this new model. All of the improvements Porsche has made were for the better...except for their BOSE audio system...which was cheapened for some reason? My old car's BOSE system sounded much better by comparison. But who cares? Turn off the radio and listen to the exhaust note! That's what I'm talkin' about!

The '06 Porsche Boxster is the perfect roadster! There is no other....the tag line says it all. The Boxster is perfect!

987S Absolutely Rocks!

I have had mine for nine months and this car is a blast to drive! It has a sweet exhaust note, terrific performance, and it is stunning from all angles. I completed my first autocross event and was amazed at how good this car is. The steering, braking, and handling were astonishing. I couldn't get the back end to break loose and believe me I tried! For a fun day find a windy road, drop the top, turn up the Bose stereo, and just blast through the gears. This car is a great stress reliever after a long day in the office. I chose 18" wheels due to the terrible road surfaces here in the Northeast because the 19's tend to have a slightly harsher ride.
