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.

  • I love this car - 2003 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    This is our 3rd Porsche and what a pleasant surprise. This car is so easy to drive! The mid engine design allows this car to be driven so hard. You feel so confident driving this car fast. The materials are great, with the exception of some cheap plastic inside. The power top is wonderful and fast. Awesome looks! Great interior, comfortable seats, lots of storage and yes, Awesome looks - did I already mention that this car looks incredible! If you get one, go for the 2003 and newer. You get a glass rear window, more power and a glove box. Those additional items are worth the extra money. Also, you dont need to get a stick in this car - the tiptronic works well and is easy to use.

    Owned it from new; only car I kept this long (7+ years), it works fine as a daily driver not just for weekends. Can be expensive to own in terms of dealer maintenance costs and out or warranty work. Delivers on the promised fun quotient and design aged very well, still very current vs. 2010 model. True sports convertible, not just for boulevard.

    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.

    I love my Porsche Boxster S convertible. It is the best car I have every owned. I think anyone considering buying one should.

    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.
