Overview & Reviews
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.
- Supreme handling characteristics, plenty of power in "S" format, relatively generous cargo capacity, fast power top operation.
- Price can quickly escalate due to costly options, some cheap interior trim.

2003 Porsche Boxster S experience - 2003 Porsche Boxster
By Rod S. - November 28 - 10:00 amAfter having owned many sports cars the experience of driving the 2003 Porsche Boxster S leaves you breathless. Mountain driving is a pleasure with sharply grabbed curves and incredible power. And if its looks you want, this is the car. Its is a stop and stare vehicle...everyone stops and stares. Thank you Porsche for putting fun back into driving.

Tremendous Handling, Good Power - 2003 Porsche Boxster
By Nick Avgoulas - October 16 - 10:00 amAfter owning a Firebird Firehawk Convertible, I decided to test drive a Boxster S. What a difference. While it lacked the same straight-line power, it makes up for it 100 fold in handling. I test drove every major convertible, Honda S2000, Audi TT, BMW Z4, Mercedes and none of them come close the handling of this car. Even the 911, which is an awesome vehicle does not quite handle like the Boxster! If you want absolutely the best handling most fun car to drive try a Boxster S. The fit and finish is superbe. To quote a famous movie line: "Porsche, theres no substitute!" There is nothing else like it, short of a 911!

Boxster 03 - 2003 Porsche Boxster
By Meridian - September 4 - 10:00 amExcellent torque. Drives effortlessy and has very comfortable seats, even after several hours. Brakes are the best Ive ever experienced. The total package is a great confidence builder. My car is still new but if it continues to perform as it does now Ill be one happy camper.

Is this heaven? - 2003 Porsche Boxster
By ds2k1 - May 29 - 2:00 amHavent had my Boxster S long, but I cant imagine a better first impression. Handles unbelievably, has excellent power and torque, is absolutely gorgeous to look at, has an excellent amount of storage for its class, is pretty roomy inside, and provides about 95% of the thrills of a 911 cabrio for at least $30K less. And for me, it is an absolutely livable everyday driver, whereas the S2000 (the other car I considered) is not. If youre thinking about the Boxster, just do it - you wont regret it!

Get a Boxster - 2003 Porsche Boxster
By jkoontz - April 29 - 10:00 amFun car, like a real sports car; turns and stops on a dime and give change. Top down and wind in hair cant be beat, it too hot or cold or heaven forbid, raining top goes up and you have climite control. Almost affordable, fantastic warrenty but does break down every now and then. If you wanted a Lotus Elise that you can get into and out of with out stepping on the seat or having to be a cork-screw, this is it.

2003 Porsche Boxster S - 2003 Porsche Boxster
By Conan Da Destroyer - April 29 - 10:00 amThe Boxster S has great roadster type feel. The car has ample but not overwhelming accelertion, is a kick on a windy mountain road and is comfortable, even on long road trips. The Bose sound system is a worthwhile upgrade. True to Porsches reputation the braking on this car is excellent. Operating the power top is a snap and the car has quite a bit of storage for a two seater. This is my second Porsche, the first being a standard Boxster. The S is an altogether different car and worth the extra money.

Fun and fantastic to drive. - 2003 Porsche Boxster
By FloridaRI - April 29 - 10:00 amThis is the second Porsche Boxster I have owned. The 1997 model was fun and fantastic but had a poor convertible roof design. The 2003 model that I now have is just put together wonderfully. The engine has plenty of performance, the interior much nicer than the previous Boxster, and the handling is just simply one of the best. Oh, yes, the roof design seems to work flawlessly.. A famous person once said "never fall in love with a car". Each day when I put the key in the ignition I fail. You will love this car.
