    It took 5 months from order to delivery to receive my 2002 Boxster but well worth the wait. Hard Top, Tip, Comfort & Sport Pkgs. This is my 1st Porsche experience and loving every minute of it. I have no real negatives at this time having only owned it for 4 months. Pleasant experience with my dealership and highly recommend them.

    Ive owned my Porsche for 4 mos now. Ive put about 4500 miles on it, and love it to death. My other car is a 2001 Audi A4, and there is no comparison. The car came w/ almost every option you can think of besides the navigation system. The PSM is worth the $1230. No complaints.

    Ive owned more sports cars over the past 40 years than I care to remember including Corvettes, "Z" and even a Firebird 400. None come close to as much fun to drive as my 02 S Boxster. The acceleration and handling are as much as I need at this point in my life. Ive wanted a Porsche for as long as long they have been producing the 911 but never could justify the cost. The Boxster fit my budget and has given me everything I could have wanted in roadster. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a really fun car to drive.

    I drive my car every day, and it is always fun. It handles every situation with finesse. Nothing could be better than a sunny day with the top down, but it handles rainy weather with confidence. It is more practical than one would expect from a two- seater sports car, but plenty of room with the two trunks. Its my only car, and the only car I need.

  • S - The Poor Mans Expensive Porsche - 2002 Porsche Boxster

    My first Porsche Boxster S 6-sp. Had BMW 528i, 5-sp. Dealer experience – nothing special. Got options I wanted, except for CD changer. Buyers have to compromise on options. Car handling is exceptional, looks are a little ostentatious, but its a Porsche after all. Since car is still in break-in phase, cannot reach the superlative engine-note stratosphere, but will get there soon. Decided to go with this impractical auto instead of BMWs M3, which was a serious contender but lost out due to unavailability. Porsche certainly has its exclusive cachet, but other cars are offering better price/performance ratios.

    I own a 1990 944 S2 convertible, and when I first saw the Boxster, I knew I had to have one. I also have the best Porsche mechanic in the business. I dont see him very often, because of the reliability of these cars. Personally, I dont want to ever drive another type of vehicle.The name Porsche speaks volumes and their reputation is unsurpassed. You have to know how to drive to appreciate these cars.

    My Boxster S has performed beyond expectation for both my wife and I. We got the Tiptronic(automatic for her) since she was unsure of the clutch. Yet, I am still have the feel of the clutch and the thrill of shifting. The cars smooth ride on the highways make it very enjoyable for weekend trips or quick trips to the grocery store.

    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 $.
