Any Porsche = Great Sports Car

2010 Porsche Boxster 2dr Convertible (2.9L 6cyl 6M)

I had my Boxster 2.9 for about a month and I enjoy it with every drive. There is really something special about driving a Porsche considering its racing heritage and legendary 911 roots plotted in the Boxster, it's just a great fun cruiser Not a racing machine. In my opinion the manual 6spd transmission is the only way to go and the clutch/shifter feel is very precise, the gas pedal has way too much resistance for my taste, I am getting used to it though. Hill start assist is also something that takes getting used to, I prefer not to have it because on uphill traffic it could be very annoying. My previous car was 2007 Infiniti M45 and I really wanted a driver's car with style, Boxster was it!

Met a member of the Porsche racing team this past Summer at Watkins Glen, and asked him his thoughts on the 2011 Boxster Spyder. His response, "Maybe my favorite Porsche ever...don't ever sell it, and if you do, Call me" I think that says all you need to know!

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.

Fabulous ride

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.

2009 Porsche Boxster S 2dr Convertible (3.4L 6cyl 6M)

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.
