Life is short. Get a Boxster

2008 Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder 2dr Convertible (3.4L 6cyl 6M)

I have owned a 2001 Boxster, a 2013 Boxster S, a 2018 Boxster, a 2014 Boxster, and now a 2008 Boxster RS 60. The RS 60 is my all time favorite. The mid engine balance, the low center of gravity, the sport suspension and the sport exhaust note make the RS 60 my all time favorite. That is not even counting the red interior with the white gauges and the sport chronometer or the razor sharp steering. The seat bolsters put you in a comfortable driving position. Yes there are lot of buttons but you will sort them out. The stereo and the audio are less than great but turn up the exhaust note and you will forget all about them. The fit and finish on this car fifteen years later is still terrific. So is the drive or the race or the road trip. As much as I liked all the other Boxster editions the RS 60 is my first choice. If you can get your hands on one, don't let go.

It's a great car to drive. Responds and handles well, relatively good on gas, looks great on the road. I just added a windscreen behind the seats and having the top down is now even more enjoyable, if that's possible. First Porsche I've owned, and I'm quite impressed with it.

My second Boxster

I traded in my 05 Boxster (purchased brand new) for a new 08. I love my Boxster. Style, class, name, prestige, and oh yes, it is a hot little car. You won't be disappointed with this car. For me it handles better than a 911 because the engine is in the middle.

Went to the local Porsche dealer to look at a used 95 Ferrari and spotted a Boxster S on the floor. I decided to take it for a spin and it now sits in my garage waiting for Spring. These cars are definitely built with the driver in mind. I doubt if there is a car made that is more well- balanced than a Boxster S.

Truly this has to be one of the world's great automobiles. Driving this car on public streets makes one feel sensational. I can only, at this time, imagine how great the car is going to be when I get it on a track at a Porsche driving school. The five speed transmission is a bit of a drawback but that's because I am used to a six speed. Pay up for the six speed if you can, either in the base as an option or in a Spyder or Boxster S. Go for the 18 inch wheels too. Try for the 12% discount like the other guy said, but in reality be happy to get 5%. Definitely shop the car among other dealers but supply does look a bit low. Enjoy!
