Took delivery late June to replace a 996. Pretty much fully loaded with PDK, Sport Chrono, etc. It is an excellent looking vehicle - I had ordered it sight-unseen in January but was not disappointed. Maybe a bit fussy versus the 991, but that is too much of a grand tourer now. Not really budget constrained, but do think that at $80k I paid, the base+6spd starts to look GREAT value. The PDK is incredibly snappy, steering/handling super sharp, etc. - its just as the reviewers reviewed it - an excellent driver all round. Not sure the interior is super luxe - bit plasticky if you look around a bit. Anyway it gets an A-. Like it a lot and will keep it a long time I am sure.

This is my 11th Porsche with most being 911's. Always wanted a Boxster but never liked the way they looked until now. The 2013 is stunning in person and is one of the best handling cars you can buy. The base model doesn't have much low end torque so you need to keep the engine between 4500 and 7000 rpm's. It's plenty fast within that range but it brings the mpg to around 18 so you have to choose between power or mileage. You get 30 mpg as advertised with a very light foot. The handling is stupendous, cornering is quick and tight, the car feels glued to the road no matter how hard you push. My last car was a Lotus Elise, which had superb handling, the new Boxster could be better.

this is my third Boxster having previously owning a 2008 Boxster, a 2007 Boxster s and now a 2013 s 6 speed. this car is the Swiss army knives of sports cars having multiple personalities based on how its driven, cruising along at 2500 rpm provides a comfortable and economical commute, however, dropping down 1 or 2 gears and winding the car out to its red line provides both a driving and auditory experience that few other cars can match.

The 2013 Boxster still feels and smells new after over 6 years. The paint, Racing Yellow, has held up with only a yearly wax job. The key to keeping it factory fresh is yearly dealer service (oil changes) and a good car cover and garage. I would advise bi-annual battery changes and brake fluid flush. Other than that just enjoy driving one of the best handling cars ever.
