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.

  • Now this is a car - 2003 Porsche Boxster

    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.

    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.

    The best 55k car youll ever buy, take it on the track and youll understand why. The car is a demo rocket with gravity defiying technology, handeling any turns as if it wasnt. I cant put it in words.If your thinking about it...DON"T just go and get yourself one... Have 91 ferrari that Im thinking of selling since I dont enjoy anymore.

  • No regrets on 2003 S - 2003 Porsche Boxster

    I have driven my 2003 Boxster S 3000 miles in two months. Im totally satisfied. The only negative about this roadster is the price; I justified this over the BMW Z4 primarily because the Z4 looks odd and the Boxster has a classic beauty. I guess the women at my office agree on the looks issue: Ive had more compliments in the last 2 months than Ive had in the last 25 years! But I really bought it for performance and it has not disappointed on that score.. at all.

  • Wonderful Boxster - 2003 Porsche Boxster

    I have a Tiptronic Boxster, which not an option in the dropdown. Even with Tiptronic, the gear shifting using the switches on the steering wheel is a dream and "I am in a racing car". I have wanted a Porsche all my life, and this makes my commute enjoyable for the first time. The engine is wonderful, the exhaust sound marvelous, and it as if the car is on rails when cornering. Lots of luggage space. Convertible top is easy to use. Great value for money and the best car I have ever had and a tribute to Porsche.

  • Boxster S - 2003 Porsche Boxster

    If you like to drive, buy a Boxster S. The regular Boxster is almost as good, but the "S" gives you just enough extra power to pass on an uphill curve in 6th gear. This is my first convertible and I wonder why I never bought one before. I drive it to work every day, rain, shine, snow or sleet. Even though the rear end slides a little when it is slippery, it never gets stuck. Indeed, the fun of a little drift is one of the reasons I bought it without traction control. Why let a computer drive your car for you? I cant understand why some drivers put these cars in the garage all winter--it means you dont have fun several months per year. I guess that is why Porsche made the Cayenne.

    This car is wonderful. FUN to drive; Bose stereo is awesome; convertible top is a breeze; comfortable seats; lots of storage space for sports car (well planned design). I am amazed at the admiring glances from other drivers. Ive had some nice cars but none ever generated the reaction that this Boxster does.
