Used 2007 Porsche Boxster Convertible Consumer Reviews
Great car!
It handles like a sports car, but has a very smooth ride. I still can't believe the power in acceleration. I traded in a Mazda Miata, so this is quite a step up. It functions very well as an everyday car, and the storage space is a bonus. This is certainly a car you can take on a weekend with luggage. There are so many features including an onboard computer that it may be months before I know the full potential of this vehicle. The downside (or upside depending on your perspective) is I'll probably never buy any other car than a Porsche.
Fun to drive when not in the shop
In the 4 weeks I've owned the car, it's been in the shop 4 times and going back again. Indicators showed low tire in the first 3 days of purchase. Had to buy a new tire. Wind noise around side windows, then controller went out for auto up driver window. While fixing that, they disconnected door side light. Dealer doesn't carry parts, so it's always 2 trips for repair. BMW Z4 wasn't in shop this much in 3 years I leased it. But fun to drive when I have it. If this keeps up, next review will be titled "piece of crap." Evidently lots of understanding needed for intricasies of the brand.

Great Handling Piece Of German Engineering-2007
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.

What a Driving Experience!
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.
Inexpensive super car
If you like to drive, then this is the car. Handling, speed and responsiveness are unparalleled. Had a MB SLK 280 and 240. Cute car but nothing like this. While you can't legally get to 150, this car will do it easily and quickly. A blast to drive and a strangely satisfying sound to listen to as you drive. Great purchase.
