I would suggest the manual transmission to throughly ring out the engine and car. Great clutch feel and smooth transmission. This car handles well and alot of fun to drive on those quiet country roads.

I’ve owned a few sports cars previously: BMW M3 - 2003, Porsche Boxster S - 2007, and now my Porsche Boxster Base - 2013. The 981 is hands down the most fun I’ve ever had in any car besides off-roading in my Chevy Colorado ZR-2 (different type of fun). The car is a comfy cruiser below 3k RPMs, but kick down a couple of gears, hit the gas, and hear the H-6 engine put out one of the sweetest sounds you’ve ever heard! The Boxster isn’t the fastest car you can get for the cash, but it handles, responds, and makes you feel like you’re driving a car that is $100k more. Get a Corvette if you want straight line performance. Get the 981 if you want to have fun at any speed, around any curve, and classy feeling that comes with driving a Porsche. It really feels like you’re glued to the road when cornering hard and the PDK transmission has the smoothest, quickest gear changes I’ve ever seen in any car. The car is truly beautiful. The 981 is far more aggressive looking than the previous generations, and looks more like a super-car than even some of the base 911s in my opinion. The interior is beautiful and spacious for a two seater. The front and back trunks provide enough storage for a couples weekend get away, or for grocery runs. It’s honestly a convenient car if you don’t have kids or animals that need to ride along :) I couldn’t be happier that I ended up buying the 981 Boxster. I haven’t had any issues with it and am amazed I still feel myself smiling every time I drive it, even after all this time of ownership. I’ll never get rid of it. Find a CPO approved 981 and just drive the heck out of it. You won’t want to drive anything else on a paved road.

I have owned four Porsches. Loved them all. Three out of four loved me back. Nothing is perfect but a sunny day driving a Boxster or a Boxster S convertible is awfully darn close. THE CASE FOR THE BOXSTER, BOXSTER S This mid engine German car is super fun to drive. For two seat cars it has a bigger interior than many other roadsters. Two smallish trunks can hold several bags of groceries or some medium size soft bags. Ditto for tennis rackets but golf clubs not so much. Top down visibility is good. Wind turbulence in the cabin is fairly calm The base car is well equipped. The S model with the bigger engine is very well equipped. The Bose stereo with its 465 watts goes with any playlist you can imagine. THE CASE AGAINST THE BOXSTER, BOXSTER S People six feet tall can squeeze in but they may not love it. Premium gas is required Mobil One oil changes will be two hundred dollars. There is so much technology that can go wrong and need fixing. That will be expensive unless you buy a CPO car with a two year factory warranty. That includes roadside assistance and trip interuption. A pre purchase inspection by a good Porsche repair shop would be critical to allow you to know what kind of shape the car is in. Repairs are expensive Maintenance is expensive Tires are expensive. Two at a time. Black Porsches show every little smudge and swirl. Drive through car washes are not good for your car. The three bucket car wash is recommended by owners. Your car comes with big thick books by the same people who invented kindergarten. Consult them before heading to the repair shop. Attention to details is key with a Porsche. You are going to field a lot of questions about your car. A lot. Mustangs and Camaros will try to race you. A lot. You are going to volunteer to run errands in your car. A lot. Driving on curvy roads will make you feel glad you picked this car. So will driving on straight roads because they are just that fun. This

2014 Porsche Boxster, SHAME ON YOU PORSCHE!!

I was thrilled the day I brought home my brand new Boxster. I was so proud. I kept going out to the garage because I couldn't believe I bought it. But two years later I found myself on the side of the road twice with transmission problems. Fortunately the car was still under warranty and Porsche replaced the transmission. But now 5 years later the interior door panels are pulling away starting a the windows. It is so unsightly I'm now embarrassed to drive my car. I never put the top down anymore because it is very obvious to see then. When I took the car to the dealership to see about getting it fixed I was told it would be $2000 per door panel. He didn't even look it up. I'm certainly not the only one having this problem. It's a manufacture defect that Porsche wants to make money on fixing. SHAME ON YOU PORSCHE!!

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.
