Advantages: Looks, Speed , Handling

Disadvantages: Price, Nothing else

The Boxster is a brilliant Porsche. It shares the same good looks from the front as the 911’s but is totally different from behind. It looks even better with the rear spoiler!
It is probably the best convertible that you can buy for under 40 grand. Everything is right about it. The chassis is the best part of the car. It has a fantastic chassis, which is tough and stable, and you fell so in control as you go into the corners. Handling is also good with the mix of power and ride. The 2.7 litre engine is great and gets the car to 60 in about 6.4 seconds and into to treble figures in about 15. The S is even better though knocking about a second from each, but it is expensive.
The basic car costs about 34,000 which isn’t to bad for such a good car but a bit over priced compared to some of its rivals like the SLK or S2000.
The triptronic version is not worth it though as it adds nearly two seconds onto the 0-60 time and with the 0-100. The roof goes up and faster than any other in 12 seconds and you can also have a optional hard top for 1,000.
For the price the car is good as it is a very pukka Porsche. Pick of the range S (If you can afford it.)
