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 am

  After 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 am

  After 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!

  Excellent 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.

  Disappointing number of rattles - 2003 Porsche Boxster
  By BillinCO - July 29 - 10:00 am

  Yes, its a convertible, but Toyota and Lexus convertibles seem to not suffer from the number of squeaks and rattles the Boxster does, especially with the Hard Top option. But in a nutshell. no other vehicle handles like the Boxster. When taking turns on twisty roads you will think the car is violating the laws of physics as there is no excitement, the car just TURNS. The phrase "corners as if on rails" is overused, but in the case of the Boxster its as if the car is riding atop a monorail. You will need to find new roads to conquer as all your old favorite twisties will, to be blunt, become BORING in the Boxster.

  Raucous Fun in the Sun - 2003 Porsche Boxster
  By Speed Yellow - June 8 - 8:33 am

  I feel that the outstanding sense of balance is a Boxsters trademark. Its not the fastest of two seat roadsters (even in S form), but it is surely the most fun to drive. The cars handling instills confidence in even the most tenuous of drivers. Cornering is effortless; the cars center of gravity feels like it is located under your seat. The the suspension communicates precisely what you need to know and it transmits your steering and throttle inputs with a smooth competency. The engine sings at higher RPM and begs to be revved to its limits, thats where the power band is and thats where the whole driving experience comes together, putting a big, goofy grin on your face. Its Heaven.

  Is this heaven? - 2003 Porsche Boxster
  By ds2k1 - May 29 - 2:00 am

  Havent 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 am

  Fun 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.
