Sweet Car
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.
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!

2006 Porsche Boxter
The Boxster has great handeling on the curves and incredible power for such a small car. It is a true sports car!
Awesome Sports Car
I was looking for the best handling, convertible sports car I could afford and I found it. The Boxster is awesome. I tested and reviewed BMWs, MBs, Mustangs and Miatas, new and used. I also looked at older Boxsters, but the moment I tested the new Boxster I knew it was the perfect car for me. The 2006 base Boxster has a much nicer interior, better sound system with the Bose (crucial as an audiophile), and with 18" wheels appeared faster than the 2004 S I had tested. The unexpected features that I like are how the top can be raisied and lowered at speeds under 30 with one touch, the surprisingly good fuel economy of 28 mpg, the comfortable ride for a sports car, and most importantly the excellent build quality.
Different Porsche
Unlike other Porsches, this one has the older style, newer technology, and is more economic than ever.
