  Its a fun Porsche - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By LinnieThePooh - March 24 - 11:16 am

  I purchased my 2002 Boxster S with just over 2,000 miles on it. Its the overall performance that sets this car apart. Its straight line performance is acceptable, but this car really shines when you throw it through curves. It has a mild understeer entering a corner, turning into a neutral feel through and exiting the corner. This car has great balance only mid-engine cars can provide - when you toss it around, it feels that all the momentum and weight are around your inner shoulder. Its easy to correct when the rear-end is starting to break loose. This is a sophisticated sport car.

  finally bought one- 2002 Boxster base - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By tjw914 - November 16 - 6:31 am

  This is my 4th Porsche. Its been about 6 years and 2 motorcycles since my last one. Ive owned a 76 911 Targa, and 2- 914s. My "new" Boxster is the best of both worlds. Power of my 70s 911 and mid engine handling of the 914. Every time I think I might be pushing too hard on it, it hunkers right down and just goes! At some point when the right S model comes along Ill trade this for one, but for now, its just a fun responsive exhilarating ride!

  Fun, Fun, Fun - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By Michael A. Tedeschi - October 30 - 2:00 am

  This car is fun to drive with excellent build quality and enough performance to put a real smile on your face starting at 6000 RPMs. It is so well balanced that it begs for acceleration entering curves.

  Every Day Fun in the Sun - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By jim - October 20 - 4:10 am

  I drive the Boxster every chance I get (except in the snow). Its great on long trips and holds enough luggage for two people for a weeks travel. I have had no problems and everyone wants to drive it. It is the best car I have ever owned.

  Boxster S Fun, but not best for $60k - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By Tim Gaither - May 30 - 2:00 am

  Bought Boxster S preowned w/9k miles. Great looks and top easy to drop. Tiptronic acceleration not to good - 0- 60 at 5.9 secs. Handling is cars strength. Interior is very plain even with sport touring package. Cabin is a little tight for me at 6" 3". Still fun to drive. Wish engine compartment was easier to access.

  Boxster - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By Scooby-Doo - October 24 - 10:00 am

  This is my 1st Porsche and the car and service from the dealer is great! If you are shy do not buy a boxster, you get a lot of looks and coments when driving this car - ALL GOOD! Got rid of a chrysler sebring conv to buy my boxster - best thing I ever did! The quality of the fit and the manufacturing of the Boxster is totally different to any USA car I have ever had. If you can afford the 18" wheels it makes the look and handling better. Also heated seats makes driving with the top down at night nice. They have 2 settings - hot gets really hot all the way up the back of the seat.

  Great Car! - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By Alan - August 4 - 10:36 am

  Ive had this car since 2003, and to this day I still love it. I was one who used to change cars every few years, Ive owned a BMW 5 series, Z3, 323i convertible, and a 318. Ive also owned a clk430, c320 and a 1999 beetle. So as you can tell I love cars(!) and this so far has been my favorite one. Its never given me any mechanical problems, everything still works, nothing is broken. Wait... the only thing that did tear was the convertible top window, it came unstitched. Aside from that everything works fine. To anyone thinking of buying a car like this one, you wont be disappointed. If possible get one with the upgraded Porsche exhaust... it makes this puppy purrrrr.

  Accept no subsitutes... - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By Derrick - May 26 - 9:26 pm

  As a former BMW owner, this has got to be one of the best cars I have ever owned. Execellent styling and handling. Bought my 2002 model boxster in in 2005 and I can only imagine how wonderful it could have been brand new. In my reseach this car was described as the "Honda" of the Porsche family. If you are shy dont buy one, this car attracts stranger and many curious on-lookers.

  Proud Owner - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By Val Taylor - March 31 - 12:50 pm

  This car is the funnest car that I have ever driven. So balanced that it reminds me of the racing carts I had when I was in my teens. The only problem I have had with it is the ignition switch had to be replaced (factory recall or something). Car is reliable, high performance, and certainly lives up to the Porsche reputation. Have driven some friends 911s and the Boxster definitely handles better.
