  • Fun, Fun, Fun - 2002 Porsche Boxster

    I just bought my Boxster used with the assumption this car was a detuned, poor mans Porsche. Boy was I wrong. This car is a race bread performer! All I can say is, "pinch me" to make sure that Im not dreaming, when actually Im ," living the dream." Enjoy.

    Bought the car with 40k miles. Had been looking at a few other cars, Honda S2000 was close, and on paper seems better for the $$ (xenon, glass rear, reliability, great shifter), but I couldnt get myself to like it more. I was a little worried because this model didnt have PSM (stability control), but the handling is so good, and so neutral, that I havent had a problem. You can kick the rear out with ease, but its very easy to control. People have lots of complaints about the interior, but Im not sure why.

  • nice boxster s - 2002 Porsche Boxster

    Only thing I could complain about the car is the very high profit margin to resell value. Mine retailed for almost 60,000 and I am needing to get a coupe (need backseat) and it only has 7,770 miles on it and the best I can get for it is 45,000. that to me is pretty poor. If you are considering buying one please buy a used one from a individual. Save yourself about 15,000 dollars and pick up a nice pre owned one. This is a review for a 2001 boxster s that was purchased new in may of 2001.

  • A Blast! - 2002 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    I bought my red Boxster w/55k miles for weekend fun. The problem is I cant keep my hands off of it. I find myself looking for excuses to run an errand just so I can take it out for a spin. The most fun car I have ever owned. Handling, engine note, brakes, styling are all incredible.

  • Worst car I ever owned! - 2002 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    OK, so the Porsche Boxster S is a great car if you set aside the weekly trips to the dealer, rattles, an interior that looks like a Ford Taurus, nasty sound system, and deadly blindspots. This is the first Porsche I ever owned and the last! I should have bought a BMW Z4, Audi TT or even a Chevrolet Corvette!

  • Entry level Porsche - 2002 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    Great handling car in Porsche tradition. Seats take getting used too. Pirelli tires noisy on road, swap for Michelin or Continental if purchasing new. Limited luggage space for travel. Salesman hyped loaner car during service, but reneged on agreement. Expect loss on resale or trade. Fun car to drive, especially at track.

    I love it! I just cant wait until spring to take the top down.

  • A Purebred Sportscar - 2002 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    I was going to buy a new sports car but decided to get this used Boxster S with 12,000 miles. I drove everything else before, and the only car that came a distant 2nd place was the 350Z Roadster. On paper the 350Z is a much better buy: a bit more power and standard options for significantly less money, but the ineffable driving experience of the Porsche blows the Nissan away. My theory is this difference has something to do with the Porsche being designed from the ground up as a sports car, whereas much of the Nissan components are interchangable with Altima, Maxima and the G35.
