A little slice of heaven

2008 Porsche Boxster 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 5M)

I have never had a more enjoyable car. Never having owned a sports car, as I drove it off the lot I wondered if I would grow tired of the sports car feel and handling. After half a year, the answer is a resounding no! Never have I been behind the wheel of a more responsive, powerful, or elegant machine. Aside from initial confusion over the radio controls, I have no complaints. The handling is magnificent, and she brakes on a dime. What you want, she does. I have had no major problems from a reliability standpoint, and for my purposes, the amount of storage is more than adequate for a car of this type. Heaven, indeed, and worth every Penny.

One Beautiful Sports Car

Just got this car and stayed up half the night driving it around with the top down. It feels so good with the top down. The handling is top notch. You can feel the quality built into this car. Drove the 370z and even though it had more bells and whistles it wasn't near as fun to drive as the Boxster S. Plus chicks love a Porsche and that alone is worth the extra coin.

Along came a Spyder

The back to basic Spyder is living up to its Best Handling Car in America status. Everything I expected and more. The car is not for everyone as Porsche readily admits, but it is a car for the purist. And it will not disappoint.

2010 Porsche Boxster S 2dr Convertible (3.4L 6cyl 6M)

Still in honeymoon period/Looking for reasons to drive.My third Porsche and second Boxster,all bought used,which is for me ,the only po$$ible way to go.The upgrade from my early(986) car is night and day:ride,handling,"infotainment"(get the PCM/BOSE)you name it -all superior...The base car is very nice ,but the S,with direct injection and extra urge will sway you.The "S" is for Serious-people who claim the Boxster is not a "real Porsche",are delusional, or simply haven't driven a 2009 or later one.

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.
