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 is a great car. It's not that fast but it handles like nothing else. Seems to be on rails and takes corners 10 times better than anything I've driven. I only get 20 mpg and that was with conservative driving before my 2000 mile break-in period. The paint chips very easily, more easily than any car I've had. And the seats are extremely narrow at the shoulders. If fact, they hurt and I'm considering some after market seats. Seems you have to be a skinny teenager to fit in the seats. But overall it's a thrill to drive down winding roads.

I bought the car as a CPO in 2015 with a 2 year warranty and sold it recently before the warranty expired. Bought it with 59,000 miles and immediately had to soak another $2k in it for the major service. I paid $30,000 (going price at the time) and resold for only $19,000 (going price), a big depreciation hit for less than 2 years ownership. It was one of the best cars I have ever driven, acceleration, handling and breaking are second to none. Would I buy the car again? No, the depreciation and upkeep is no Bueno. If I had the money to do it all over again, probably would do the 911 cabrio. My biggest problem is now buying my replacement sports car, everything I test drive is compared to the Porsche. Nothing compares.

Don't buy this car unless you have deep pockets

I bought this car with 30k miles on it in 2013 and it now has 46500 miles. I have put over $12,000 dollars into it in repairs and maintenance alone. I don't get where Edmunds get the price of repair in the Denver area but it is no where near reality. The dealer charges 150 dollars an hour for labor and the sparks plugs a piece are $18 dollars. Even independents are the same if not higher. The dealer told me I needed a tie rod replacement which is over $2000 but I took it to an independent shop and it did not need it. The Porsche dealer was just trying to create work. I take it to the independent from now on he seems to be honest and does not do anything unnecessary. I finally solved the smoking problem. They fixed a vacuum leak on my brakes line and the smoking went away except for when the car sits. The Dealer had no clue and told me that is the way the cars are.

I have now owned this car for two days and all I can say is wow. It is a head-turner, it drives beautifully, and it just keeps bringing a smile to my face. This car is just fun.
