    Boxster S is a perfect balance of power and handling. Not a very satisfactory car for daily driving in city traffic. Unbelievable on open twisting roads and anywhere that there is no traffic in front of you. Last weekend I was stuck behind a BMW M3 who seemed to think he was going through the curves really fast; I wasnt even pushing the Boxster and was stuck on his tail.

  • Its a porsche - enough said. - 2002 Porsche Boxster

    This is the best car I have owned to date. Its fun, sporty, handles well and holds its own against any other car out there. You cannot beat the style and I still get strangers coming up to talk about it. I dont buy the "poor mans" Porsche. It has the same interior and front of the 911 - less power, but Ill put the difference in money I saved in the bank and have just as much fun! Regular service calls are a little expensive, but only needs to be done every 18 months. Great car for the $.

    "There is no substitute". Enough said.

  • Cruisin with my Speed Yellow Boxster - 2002 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    I traded in my 2000 BMW 323CI Convertible for this Speed Yellow Boxster and I was never wrong in doing it. I have so much fun driving it that I missed my exits 5 times in the first week that I was driving it. The handling is superior especially in winding narrow roads. The sound of the engine is very amusing.

  • Our first anniversary gift to ourselves - 2002 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    My DH and I decided to buy something very unnecessary for our one year anniversary, so glad we did! We had been looking at the 2006 Mustang gt, but those are a dime a dozen now. We picked up our new toy for $16K in excellent condition. We love the comfort, handling, and speed. Yeah baby! We actually fight over who gets to drive! On our test drive, we got it up to 120 mph and it was barely over 3000 rpm ! Need I say more! This is one fun ride! Its a dream to drive in town as well as on the open road. Dont hesitate to buy this car!

    For everyone who always wanted a sports car but ended up with just a sporty car, this is the real thing.

  • Flawless Reliability - 2002 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    This car has been an amazingly reliable vehicle. I have had it for 4 years and have not had to return it to the dealer once for service. The radio had some problems and the dealer got a little snippy but I managed to fix it myself.

  • Boxster S...There is no substitute - 2002 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    I have had my Boxster S for about 6 weeks and have put 2500 miles on it. This car is a hoot! Great power, although not overwhelming, skateboard like handling and the best manual transmission I have ever used. I traded in a Miata. The Boxster is a much more substantial car, solid, incredibly smooth on the highway. The howl of the engine at 3500 RPM+ is intoxicating. I love this car.
