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.

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.

Car is awesome and perfect balance of handling and power. I had the first generation boxster and this one is twice the car and I had no complaints with the first one. If you're going to buy one get at least a 12% discount off sticker or go to another dealer. My dealer was supposed to set the locks and headlights and failed to do so. Since I didn't buy it locally I will have to pay a couple hundred bucks out of my pocket for not checking. They also quoted me 50.00 on the tint and then charged me 139.00. Not a big deal but as a repeat customer I expected more, probably will by my next Porsche from someone else.

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!

I bought my 2010 Boxster S 3 years ago with 50K miles with a stick shift Guards Red. I bought it because the price was right and I missed having a stick as I bought a 2013 Boxster with a PDK which is also nice but it lacks a connection to the car a stick gives. I have owned lots of sports cars (M3s and M5) and let me tell you this beats them all hands down. Road and Track at the time said the car is elemental and I think this is a very accurate description. The stick is smooth as silk. The last of the Porsches to have a real parking break. For the money they are hard to beat. I love this car and I upgraded the stereo with a Focal system as the base stereo is junk but because the stereo is not tied to the other functions of the car it can be replaced easily and removed back to stock easily. It also has the sport exhaust which is a relatively rare but super nice option as the sound of it with sport exhaust on is awesome and turns heads! It makes a trip to the grocery store feel like an adventure. If you can find a clean one don't hesitate. You can't have mine!
