Overview & Reviews
The Boxster is slowly adding features and options. This year, a Classic Package includes metallic paint and all-leather seats, and adds special highlights to the interior. The gas tank is increased from a 12.5- to a 14.1-gallon capacity, and gas-discharge Litronic headlights are optional. All the features in the Sport Package are individually optional this year, and 18-inch wheels are now available.
- Weak stereo, and the BMW M Roadster offers more power.

Great Fun Car - 1999 Porsche Boxster
By Ski - November 16 - 2:00 amWhat a great car! It makes my day each time I drive it. Handles well out of the box, but 1999 could use more power (more fun). Excellent service and NO PROBLEMS.

1999 Porsche Boxster - 1999 Porsche Boxster
By Ken S - May 25 - 6:20 pmThis car is fun to drive and has superb performance and handling. This car is "one with the road". Its low center of gravity and mid-engine design are the keys to its stability and agility. I bought this car in Germany and routinely drove it on the Autobahn at 120+ mph. It has solid positive control at all speeds. Likewise, it handles like a jungle cat on the mountain switchbacks. It doesnt have an overpowered engine, but with the proper driving skills, this car will do anything you want it to. The exterior styling is sleek and attractive, suggesting speed and performance.

Best True Sports Car For the Money - 1999 Porsche Boxster
By MSN - October 5 - 5:56 pmPorsche did miss the mark by not making the Boxster its new flagship! Ive driven the 911s, the Z3s, corvettes, along with the rest, and bottom line is, if Porsche would have placed an adequate engine under the hood, the boxster would be untouchable from a sports car stand point.

If you want a smooth and quiet ride... - 1999 Porsche Boxster
By AndyInAtlanta - July 5 - 4:53 pmDont buy a boxster if you are looking for a comfortable, smooth luxury ride. I didnt realize getting performance (so to speak) meant having my teeth jarred loose over every pothole. I understand a sports car needs to feel the road, but do I have to have my face rubbed in it? I guess I have a Princess and the Pea attitude, cuz I hate feeling every little bump in the road. I love the car, the power is ok, the styling is amazing, but they need some kind of upgrade or option for smooth ride. For any sports enthusiast that says thats just the way sports cars drive - not exactly true. Corvettes feel SO much more comfortable. But the boxster was a better value for the $s.

almost flawless - 1999 Porsche Boxster
By Dr. Lloyd - August 17 - 10:00 amEvery time I get an itch to upgrade to a 911, I just go out a take a spin in my Boxster. This car has the handling, the brakes, the top down fun, and plenty of storage space (two trunks!) The steering is super responsive. At 3500 rpm, the engine sings. Every time I get in this car, it makes me smile. Whenever Im done driving I have what boxster owners call permagrin, I cant wipe the smile from my face. This car is best in the twisty mountain roads, where almost nothing can beat it. From the doors forward, the Boxster is almost the same as the 911. The only problem is that the 911 has the larger engine, and who needs rear seats?

Its A Nice Car, A Really Nice Car - 1999 Porsche Boxster
By Stephen - April 7 - 10:30 pmJust picked up my 1st Porsche, a Boxster. This car is not ment for long trips. Its a very tight fit, seats are a bit hard. Its also a bit noisy with the top up. It is nuch better with the top down. And, the plastic rear window is just stupid. Other than that, I love this car! When Im in it I feel like Im Flying! Its very fast, handles like its part of me and Looks so sexy I feel a little naughty just sitting in the seats. And, I got a great deal on the price! Mantainance it a bit high but worth it, If you can get one, Get one! Get one! "And thats all I have to say about that."
