Best car buy I have ever made. The Boxster hugs the road to perfection. Smooth ride and gets plenty of compliments. I’ve driven it for 5 years now and it’s still going strong. No major repairs just tune-up and timely oil/filter changes. Looking forward to trade in and purchase a newer model.

I am a tall guy 6' 3" and have size 15 feet. I need to drive with driving shoes. The shin splints are not fun due to the vertical nature of the accelerator. Cruise control is a must! BUT, the car is a blast to drive and my wife would divorce me if I sold it. She loves driving it. I would give this a solid 5 but seriously, it would be a perfect fit if I were 6 feet tall or less. My son is 2" shorter than I, and he too could use more leg room and tilt to the seatback. It handles great, rev's happily and attracts the radar aim...even when going slower than the crowd. The only thing I hate about the car is the traffic in front of it. UPDATE: 2023. Still like the car, but the plastics are something that needs to be addressed. Frunks switch, door handle, cup holders, easily worn parts. I have fixed 6 parts on my car, the next is the window lift on the passenger side. 730 -950 quotes. All but on of these repairs have been due to plastic being brittle. It's never been a southern car so I wonder if those in the high heat zones find this as well.

Great convertible

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

This is a great convertible. A lot of value for money. Porsche performance in this relatively affordable vintage to purchase used. The 987 gen is quite attractive and has aged very well. Lots of improvements over the original 986. Handling and driving experience is great. It is not very powerful but can be exciting to drive. Reliability is good if well maintained. Maintenance/repair costs can be high. Don't expect a great stereo sound or fine cupholders. It is also fairly noisy at highway speeds, but otherwise quite comfortable and has good seats. More practical than it looks with the two trunks front and rear. Still one of the best sport cars out there after all these years.

Like driving a High Tech Video Game

2008 Porsche Boxster S 2dr Convertible (3.4L 6cyl 6M)

This car is so fun to drive. It handles likes its on rails and sounds so good that I'm always turning down the $1000 upgraded Bose stereo down so I can hear the 3.4 growl. I love going anywhere now. Haven't said that in a while. This is my daily driver and with the traffic here in town chose the triptronic. I never thought that I would be saying this but I am so glad I went with the Auto. Its like driving a high tech video game. Flying around corners and shifting is a blast. I can also be holding hands with my date and still drive the car like it should be driven.
Hard To Find, Great To Drive

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

The RS 60 is a limited edition Porsche with the extra touches that make it a special car. It has 303 Horsepower and Brembo Brakes and two trunks along with a full leather interior and a Bose sound system. The seats have the Porsche crest and the instrument cluster with the white dials gives the interior a racing look. The number of your very limited edition is posted on a plaque over the glove box. Nineteen inch tires and the Porsche active suspension management keep the car glued to the road. If you are able to get your hands on one find the twistiest road you can and attack those curves. See for yourself. And take the long way home.
