The car is a total joy to drive. Being a long time car buff it is one of the nicest cars I have ever owned and I have had many. The Boxster handles very well and you will want to find every curvy road in your area to experience the handling of the car. Comfort is good and even though I am 6'2" I still fit pretty well. The interior is top notch and very easy to use. The exterior is typical Porsche...SEXY. Bought my Boxster used and it only had 14k miles on the odo. Got a great deal and am very happy I made the move to buy it.

This is the best balanced car I've ever owned with no handling faults I can even think of. It's just an all around fun car to drive and care for. Oil changes and other maintenance is a bit expensive, but the maintenance intervals are spaced far enough apart that although each service is rather expensive ($450+), they don't come often enough to be excessive - especially for a car of this level. Like a loyal hunting dog, it just begs to go and play every time I walk into the garage. No unscheduled problems, so far with 32K miles on the odo.

2008 Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder 2dr Convertible (3.4L 6cyl 6M)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful

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.

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.
