  • I love my boxster - 2004 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    For a small car it is very comfortable. and it has a good amount of truck space. You just cant carry too much luggage but it was enough room for two women on a weekend trip and women have to have a lot of stuff for a weekend :-). It handles great really hugs the road and on hills it is really nice. I just took a trip to Hot Springs and never had to touch my brakes on the hills. So far I really love it

    Excellent driver, fast, and fun. No problems at 7,000 miles. Tires still excellent, never used a quart of oil. 25 miles to a gallon....tight body. This is my second Boxter, had great success with the first one too.

  • Sensual Porsche - 2004 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    My Porsche Boxster "S" model is the hottest, best performance vehicle Ive ever owned. Ive always driven sports cars with a manual transmission, but this six-speed is the fastest 250 hp, especially for the money. Brake system is superior, and suspension is tight and precise. Drives even better in the rain, but sunny days with the top down is the most thrilling.

  • As good as it gets - 2004 Porsche Boxster

    This is my 4th Porsche (356B, 356SC, Boxster) and they just keep getting better. How many cars make you smile when you turn the key and, at the same time have two trunks? Of course, it is all about the driving experience and this one has it all: Sports care manners in a car that you can use everyday. I know that some will find it outlandish, but I have a hard top and ski rack and I really use them. Handling in the snow can be exciting, but that is what driving this car is all about. The plain interier is very Teutonic and quite fitting in a real sports car--this isnt a Lexus or Mercedes after all. Just drive it!

  • I Love My 2004 Boxster! - 2004 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    I have owned multiple foreign and domestic sports cars and have never owned a vehicle that gives me such pleasure to drive as my carrara white 2004 Porsche Boxster! This car was designed as a modern version of the Porsche 550 Spyder of the 1950s and it is a blast to drive as Im sure that car was/is. It has the technology to make even long drives comfortable and the Bose sound system is the best I have ever heard (home or in a car. It even beats my 2007 BMW 335i Harmon Kardon system). This car gets looks everywhere I go and rightly so-It is a beauty. I would strongly encourage anyone to purchase this car-you wont regret it!

  • Mid-life love - 2004 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    My 2004 Porsche Boxster has been a treat to drive. I never understood the whole sports car thing. It was a gift from my boss which my wife quickly claimed as hers. We both drive it and could not be happier with anything else. We are now looking at getting the Porsche SUV because of how this car has behaved. In addition, the dealership has been beyond wonderful. If all Porsche dealerships are like this all other dealers should shut their doors and go home. I love the car! Can you say "wind in my hair"? Can you say "officer I am 50 and this is my first ticket-ever!"? Can you say "listen to that exhaust note"? Can you say "why did I wait this long"?

  • Definition of a sports car... - 2004 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    Not only does this car handle incredibly, it fits any driver like a glove and provides them with a much better "feel for the road" than any huge, SUV will ever be able to do. The plain black interior, when accented with aluminum pedals and gauge bezels, is so stunning, that many of my car "afficionado" friends have said it looks better than most other over-blown sports cars. I think for 2005 theyre over doing the interiors of the Porsches....too much luxury...not enough "sports car"! Definately get the Pirelli P-Zero tire combination. Its the best. Its hard to beat a Boxster if you want to drive a modern version of a throwback to the past! Well done Porsche...how can you top this car?

  • my 99 porsche boxter-Live Your Dreams! - 2004 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    The one thing I can say about my 99 porsche Boxster is, "Amazing". I cant believe how I feel when I get into the drives seat, after a long day of work or play. I almost feel untouchable! The sheer power, performance, and sleek design makes me feel so good! I recommend this car if you are serious about performance,style,and overall capabilities! What a Rush!

  • boxster s 2004 - 2004 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    The car is by far sharpest and classiest in this price range. Its the best looking car in its class of cars. I cannot say enough good things about the car.

  • A pleasure to drive - 2004 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    This car is absolutely fun to drive. My wife was somewhat concerned when I bought the car. Now I cant keep her out of it. She said "I didnt know it would be this much fun".
