This Year's Model Updates:

The big news for 2000 is the Boxster S. This more powerful version of the Boxster features a bigger engine that generates 250 horsepower. The regular Boxster (if you can call it that) also gets a horsepower boost in 2000, going from 201 to 217. Both models feature upgraded interior materials and new exterior colors.

Pros:
  • Increased horsepower, excellent handling and steering, suited for almost any driving situation.
Cons:
  • Plastic rear window, expensive base price and options.

  • PostAlimony Thrill - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    I studied and shopped for this car for literally months before I found the right one. Ocean blue/metropol with almost all of the bells/whistles. My patience was rewarded by the euphoria of a fun-to-drive head-turner that will run all day without breathing hard. The Tiptronic is great for both wife and me (bad backs)and we look forward to years of fun with our Boxster.

    We live in Eugene Oregon, 45 miles from the coast. Thats 45 curvy miles. What an absolute blast it is go there and back. Riding north and south on the coast highway, with the roof off, side windows up, and a little floor heat going - you cant beat it! The handling and accelleration is unbelievable!

  • There is no substitute! - 2000 Porsche Boxster

    Bought my car from 2nd owner. Great emerald green color captured my attention. Very fast and handles like what you would expect from a sports car. Always wanted one and bought it now since I can protect it from inclement weather by hiding it in my garage.

  • Simply Awsome, art meets performance - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    I have owned many high end cars but nothing comes close to the performance and quality of the boxster s. If you are thinking of buying a regular boxster ... do youself a favor and drive the S model and you will see that the only difference is not the s on the back of the trunk. The S model delivers all the tourqe the regular boxster was missing + the acceleration and handeling of one of the best built cars in the world. I have had no problems thus far and every time I drive it I feel more and more at one with this machine.. If you drive one .. you will buy one .. .simple as that.

  • Fun in the sun, but lacks torque - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    My Boxster has been a great car. The most confidence inspiring and best handling car that Ive ever owned. I also have a Viper GTS and the Boxster instills much more confidence - though it doesnt have the torque or sex appeal of the Viper. Still, its a fun car - very useful for every day driving. I used to own a Miata - which was a great car, but was frustrating to drive because of its lack of power. Think of the Boxster as a better Miata. It goes faster and can handle the turns faster - but the over-all driving experience is very simiilar to the Miata. Whether the Boxster is worth the extra 20K over a Miata could be well argued, but hey, its a Porsche.

  • An Excellent Sports Car - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    From the steering feel, to the velcro handling, to the engine melody ... nothing about the driving experience disappoints. Only two problems have cropped up: A minor oil leak, and a faulty sending unit that left my drop-top in the dropped position. Both fixed under warantee. Regular maintenace at the dealer, however, will cost a bundle. Still, for the money, I have yet to find a car that brings as big a smile to my face as the Boxster.

  • Top Roadster - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    Before I bought the S, I looked and test drove a new Honda S2000 & Nissan 350Z, and a used BMW Z4, Boxster S, Audi TT, and Mercedes SLK. The characteristics important to me were: 1.Fun, 2. Style 3. Overall driving feel 4. Performance 5. Cost The Boxster S edged out the S2000 even with cost factored in. Bottom-line -- None can quite measure up to the overall performance, feel, and style of the Boxster S. Now I know why Porsche says “There is no substitute” – it’s true.

  • Cool Mid-life Crisis Car - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    I bought my Boxster on a whim. It is my first Porsche. It is a beautiful car and it is fun to drive. I got quite a deal, but in the three weeks I have had it, my starter went out as did the oxygen sensor.

  • Fun Machine - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    I purchased a used 2000 Boxster S several years ago with low mileage. Everything has been fantastic including the dealer service in Palm Beach FL. I made due with the cup holder that latches onto the driver vent as well....
