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.

  • 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.

    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

    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.

  • Easy to drive quickly - 2003 Porsche Boxster

    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.....

    Pleasure to drive, sit in or just wash in the driveway!

  • Best car Ive everdriven. - 2003 Porsche Boxster

    Wonderful driving experience. Maintenance has not been near as much as I had feared. Fast, rugged, reliable, fun to drive and a great track car.

  • Awesome Car! - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    Ive always wanted a Boxster, and its everything I ever imagined. Great handling, terrific sound, terrific acceleration (even without fully breaking in the engine), amazing looks, comfortable. Neutral handling, responsive brakes, telepathic steering - - you just think it around curves.

  • There is no better - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    The car is the closest to perfection there is out there. The Boxster will outhandle anything out there now. Road and Track did a slalom run in which it blasted the Enzos (the Ferrari guy costing $700K) record. True it does not have an overabundance of hps but once you pounce on the accelarator you get usable power with unmatch driving dymamics. With a top speed of close to 170 mph I think it is fast enough.

  • Its a fine tuned machine... - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    It provides a "Wow" driving experience that doesnt go away with ownership. From the first test drive to my drive to work today this car continues to provide a feeling of precision and balance. Suspension is very versatile and goes between sport/touring and sport/race very well. This one blows the Z4 away in the driving experience I tested both extensively and have never looked back. So much Porsche for so little cash!
