Overview & Reviews

Average Score

4.79/5 Average
79 Total Reviews
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.

  • Turning Heads - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    In my 30 years of driving experience, this is by far the most impressive, fun car to drive. I work for a company that employs 500+ people, and have had people I dont even know approach me about this car. I am getting a "thumbs up" from everyone! It is certainly an attention getter. The looks are impressive and driving it is like a "mini vacation." It is a thrill to leave work, put the top down, crank up the stereo and cruise on home. I could use up all the available space in this review and not be able to fully convey what a pleasure this car is to own and drive.

    I love this car.Its the best car ever.I think that everybody needs to get one of these cars.They have excellent handling-even on slick roads- ,they run great, and the design is great also.the only thing that I do not like about mine is that it is a 5 speed I would much rather have an automatic.Thank you for reading this review.

  • After 4 years - Id do it again - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    The Boxster Im reviewing is actually a 99. 1999 was not an option in the pulldown. After four years, Id buy another Boxster. Ive driven the new Boxster is great. I guess at some point, Ill buy an S but mine still has less than 40,000 miles and is still as solid as day one. In Los Angeles traffic, with a 5 speed, it is a delight to drive. Driving home is the perfect antidote for a long day at the office, top down full moon over the Pacific. Plenty of luggage space for a long weekend 4/2 including golf bags. For what it is - a simple roadster for the 21st century - this is a perfect car and a credit to Porsche.

  • First Porsche - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    This is my first Porsche and a dream come true. I love every minute of driving it, washing it, and detailing it. I was afraid of getting a Porsche for all the horror stories you hear; expensive, costly maintenance, costly parts, unreliable etc. I bought it used with a 3/36,000 premium warranty and only 24K miles at under $28k! You cant get an average Japanese or American car for that price. After checking Consumer Reports and JD Power and Associates ratings, I decided to get it. Get it and you wont regret it. Life is too short not to have fun. Just cover your basis with a warranty, low mileage, and Carfax, then live life!

  • Now this is a car - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    I’ve now had this car for a couple of months and have put on about 1200 miles. I love this car, it handles great stops on a dime and all and all is one terrific sports car. I drove just about every sports car in this price range and I kept coming back to the Boxter S, in my opinion you can’t go wrong with this car.

  • Fun! As Soon As You See It - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    Black/Black/Black....Fun, Fun, Fun! I know the "S" is faster, bigger wheels, etc. How much more did I really need? This was a great decision and for a first timer, even more than imagined. Excellent handling, turns heads at every light - in other vehicles as Im blowing by them...the only ones that seem disinterested are 911 owners (imagine that)...now to dream of the GT.
