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.

    After many years of owning German sports sedans, driving this car is a revelation, infact it redefines the word "sport".

    Ive had this car for almost two years and havent regretted buying it. Great reliability and fun to drive. A used Boxster is a great deal. My only misgiving is that the base model lacks low end torque - it is necessary to wind out the engine to 4000+ rpm to get good acceleration.

    What a fun car! It is definetley extremely fast, but I would like to see 300 horsepower in this little car in 2004, then it would blow any car off the road. I always have fun burning old corvetes and people with cars they think are hooked up. I always do 0- 60mphs and my best recent one was a 5.38 which is awsome and fasttttt, my best 1/4 mile was 13.39 which is also great. Get on the road with one today it rockkks.

    The perfect car to cure your mid life crisis, the Boxster is the best all around sports car for the $ I have owned. Great looks, performance and relative value, especially compared to the 911 convertible. Dont spend the extra 10K for marginal performance improvement offered with S model.

  • My Boxster S - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    This is my 2nd Porsche and first Boxster. I love it. Ive also owned BMWs and Corvettes, but there is nothing like a Porsche. The handling, speed, dealer network and Porsche panache is hard to beat. If I had my choice of any car in the world, and I do, Id still chose a Porsche. And the Boxster S is a real Porsche and a great value

  • Best Car Ever - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    I loved Honda S2000 until I drove the Porsche Boxster. It is a great car, fun to drive. I have never had a car that turns so many heads. It has lots of power, great handling, and it makes going to work a pleasure.

    While the Boxster isnt the "awe- inspiring" look as the 911, it is an awesome little car. I traded an 00 911 cab, so I do have insight in comparisons. Actually Ive enjoyed the Box more, the reasons: more luggage space, but more than that, is like having a trained dog vs. an untrained one. The 911 seems to always be at the end of the leash, pulling out of control, while the Box is a very enjoyable "walk" (ride) in the park.

    I love my Porsche Boxster! I am hooked for life. The road performance and great gas mileage is enough but being fun to drive is an absolute plus.

  • sensuous - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    Its with great pleasure that I drive my 2004 boxster...no other vehicle Ive driven stirs the senses with a dash of adrenaline. The immediate response to the gas pedal puts you comfortably into the soft seats while hugging the road. Shifting is short and sweet with solid consistency.Well worth the price for a sensuous vehicle.
