Great Car One Problem in 9 years
Very reliable car, A joy to drive. The one problem is, the release buttons for the two trunks are electric. If the battery dies you cannot get into the trunk to get to the battery. There is an emergency trunk cable release behind the drivers front tire but you would need a lug wrench to get the wheel off which is IN THE TRUNK! There is also a place to connect jumper cables in the fuse panel but if the battery is completely dead it will not help.
What a rush!
I absolutely love my "new" car! It is a dream to drive it - I get a rush every time I'm behind the wheel. It handles like a charm and is super comfortable as well.

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.
A car that puts a smile on my face
I've had the car since new and have done nothing but enjoy it. It is great fun to drive, I almost always drive on side roads and not the freeway, just keeps the rocks and debris off the front end. The car handles great, feels like it is on rails when going around sharp corners. I am getting very good gas mileage, close to 30, keeping the RPM down helps.
Nice but no WOW
Boxter handled as one expects for a Porsche. There was no pizzazz to the car. Automatic convertible top was excellent. Did not WOW me as did Prorshe 911 Carrera S.

Best all around sports car.
I have had my 2006 Porsche Boxster S for less than a month. I test drove the Lotus Elise and the Honda S2000 side by side with the Boxster S. I can truely say it is a very livable, yet unbelievable car. I drive it every day. The space is excellent and it is a comfortable dayly driver. The car fits better than any car I have sat in. The brakes are stunning and the steering is great. I will take it for its first track date in two months (to Virginia International Raceway) and I am sure it will not disappoint. I will update this after that. This is the best all around sports car made.
Second Boxster
I recently purchased my second Boxster; this time an S model. I loved my old car, but everthing that was a little annoying about it has been upgraded on the 2006 model. The ride is fabulous, maybe even better than the 911. I am also impressed with the Bose surround system.
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.
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!
Performance, no customer brand immersion
Exhaust note and handling captured me, over leasing another BMW Z4. Just 400 miles on it, but getting 18 mpg around town. Needs Bluetooth and assist like BMW or Northstar.

Awesome Car
This car is amazing. Handling is second to none. It is like this car is on rails. Classic Porsche styling and surprisingly comfortable for such a capable sports car. Love the flat 6 engine note. This car loves to be driven and comes alive above 4,000 RPMs. In a day and age where the driver is electronically insulated from the driving experience, this car offers an immersive driving experience where you are connected to the road. Dollar for dollar is possibly the best value out there.

Porsche for everyone
I bought a 2007 2.7 987 with 106k miles ten months ago for £10k - the base car in my opinion is fabulously smooth to drive, its fast enough but won't scare you and it sounds wonderful. The build quality is such that it doesnt appear 16 years old. I bought from a dealer as I wanted a warranty. The issues I have had include corroded exhaust fittings that led to a horrendous noise but this was easily remedied as a Porsche specialist for £27 in parts although I did end up replacing rear coffin arms and coil packs too. I had a few niggles with the hood not seating correctly but was able to fix myself by replacing a couple of elastic straps that pull the fabric into place. I would strongly recommend to anyone who's ever dreamt of owning a Porsche to take the plunge but have a couple of grand spare to sort out issues that might need fixing to get the car "well sorted" No regrets whatsoever.

Different Porsche
Unlike other Porsches, this one has the older style, newer technology, and is more economic than ever.
My Boxster S
Coming from a BMW 330i, a daily driver that I've adored since 2001, I wasn't expecting to enjoy this car as much as I do. I still only have 250 miles on it (picked it up with 6), but it puts a smile on my face every time I start it up. The car draws plenty of attention, and even though it's far from broken in (I'm trying my best to keep the RPM's under 5,000), the car is a real blast to drive. I even enjoy it on my lousy commute up/down the congested Rt. 7 here in N. Virginia, and if you know anything about Rt. 7 during rush hour, that should tell you something about the car!
