This Year's Model Updates:

Minor visual updates, including revised front and rear fascias and gray (versus the previous yellow) tint for the turn signal lenses, along with a boost in output keep the Boxster relevant in the face of faster, more refined rivals.

Pros:
  • Supreme handling characteristics, plenty of power in "S" format, relatively generous cargo capacity, fast power top operation.
Cons:
  • Price can quickly escalate due to costly options, some cheap interior trim.

  • An E ticket ride in your garage! - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    After nearly "sold" on a BMW Z4, I reminded myself the the Boxster exists. Ive always loved the car from afar, but hadnt considered it as a car I could really own (dont ask). One sit led to a test drove on the standard Boxster. Great ride, and lots of fun, adequate power. However, once I drove the Boxster S, it was a puppy sale. I couldnt own anything else! The car is a blast to drive, tons of power, and corners so flat, you feel like youre on rails!

    Handles in the turns with quick response, plenty of power, and holds the road like it is on rails. Low to the ground, it is a beautiful sports car that is not equaled in style and performance. The 2 storage areas hold an amazing amount of luggage, but the driving and passenger seats are a pritty snug fit. The c/d and radio are adequate, however, the controls are kind of complex and hard to understand. The bottom line is, its fun beyond imagination. Don

  • I Love My Car! - 2003 Porsche Boxster

    This is such a fun car to drive... quick and NIMBLE... so much more fun than the Carrera. This thing turns on a dime - great! I have the upgraded 18" rims, sound package, xenon lights, and heated seats as well as full stitched leather. All around, this car has been a delight. Its perfect for a second car cuz every time you get in it after not driving it for a while, its SUCH a pleasant suprise!

  • too good to be true - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    This car has been everything I wanted and more. The one exception is the cheap plastic for the air vents and the front middle console has to be revamped for real use. As well the steering wheel could use a tilt. I have driven the car accross country twice, one in winter, and a tild would be of the greatest value. I would love to be a spokesperson for this car and as a father of two young ones, it is my everyday car. Price, handling, style and reliability all come for a price that I find very impressive. But thats what I always thought a Porsche would be ever since I first wanted one. At the age of about 6. Kyle Chandler.

  • WOW!!!!!!!!!! - 2003 Porsche Boxster

    I Love this car!! I have waited my whole life for a Porsche. It is so amazing. I love listening to the engine more than the fantastic stereo.

  • Fantastic! Quick and well built! - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    I moved from an Audi TT Roadster 225 Quattro to a Porsche Boxster. The Boxster feels more solid on the road, feels quicker off the line than the TT (even though they are both rated at 225hp.) and is considerably quieter with the top up. The instruments are well placed! Quality is fantastic! Overall an excellent sports car.

  • Xlnt sports convertible - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    Great choice for sports car convertible; very pricey new (keep options list down !) but worth the xtra money in the long run. More comfortable and useful size than it looks. Bought mine new and have used it as daily driver/only car for a number of years. Out of warranty repairs expenses can be high, but maintenance is just once a year for low mileage cars. Hard to give this car up, makes for a great 2nd car keeper once its past its prime.

  • Easy to drive quickly - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    We have seven cars, including a Honda S2000, Jaguar XJ8, and the American muscle classic 96 Impala SS. The Boxster is amazingly balanced, and really easy to drive quickly -- with the tiptronic, its my wifes favorite drive now, and she goes "top down" on all suitable days. I like the Jag for traveling, and enjoy the motorcycle like qualities of the S2000, but have to marvel at Porsches little roadster!

  • Im not worthy! - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    This car is way too fast, far too much fun, and just too exceedingly beautiful for me. Never am I more guilt-ridden than when I hear the glorious sound of that engine while accelerating on the highway, passing all who cant hope to keep up. My torture continues as I observe the numerous admiring glances focused in the direction of my Boxster. The guilt subsides when I glance in the rearview mirror and notice not only the ever-present film on the rear window, but also the flashing blue and red lights, actually gaining on me.....
