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.

    What can be said for heaven on earth? Insurance costs stink but I can not blame Porsche for that!

  • 2000 Boxster, 5-speed - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    This is my first Porsche and the one thing I didnt anticipate was that the car would be so well made and reliable. The car had no flaws whatsoever when I received it and to this day, Ive had only very, very minor repairs. The car is an absolute pleasure to drive, it performs well and runs as smoothly and as tightly as the day I got it which is amazing considering I drive it every day to work in heavy traffic, starting and stopping constantly. The car currently has 36,000 miles on it and I have no hesitation to buy it outright when my lease is up in a couple of months. I would highly recommend this car to anyone!

    The Boxster is great car - major fault/major advantage is that it can make you feel like you are a much better driver than you really are. The car is almost without vices - but it does go through rear tires as though they were made of butter.

    This Boxster S is my second Boxster. I traded up from a 1998 Boxster for more power, and I was not disappointed. It has great handling and road feel with good comfort (for a sports car). My trip from Oklahoma to Boston and back was a delightful ride, and fast. Its reliability has been great - this is a bulletproof car, very solid. The convertible top has held up well and shows very little wear.

  • Too Fun For Words - 2000 Porsche Boxster

    Just bought mine used. Took it on a 1500 drive from Portland, OR to Denver. I had more fun than a person has a right to be. I couldnt stop smiling! I rode most of the way at around 100mph and topped out at 125mph. The Boxster S purred like a kitten! Cant imagine why Boxsters cost less than 911? I drove my friends 911 and although I like it, I found the Boxster just as fun!

    I purchased this used last June. It is awesome. It is like hitting to within 1 foot of the pin on a par three every time I get in it!

  • The best for your money - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    I have owned the car for 3 yrs. It is head-turner with plenty of power. People who complain about lack of power, perhaps need to use the Tiptronic to their advantage. It is truly absolute fun. Yes, you can get a more powerful engine with less money but that is not PORSCHE. These are show- and-tell toys for big boys.

  • One of the worlds best sports cars - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    This is one of the worlds greatest sports cars. The handling is both confident and communicative. The steering feedback is fantastic. The chassis is extremely stiff, especially for a convertible. The engine note is intoxicating and the power, although not amazing, is still very strong. More than enough to get you into trouble. Its relatively light compared to its contemporaries (and the 911). I love this car. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another.

  • Took the Plunge - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    After a Merc, BMW, Corvette an S4 I was fed up with high cost motors. I waited for the Crossfire, although it looked great, the cost was high the dealer wanted 10k over MSRP not to mention resale value. Here I am a proud owner of a 2nd hand Boxster. The car has legs, an amazing ammount of room, feels solid and the fuel economy is a dream. This is a safe buy, good resale value, high performance, low insurance commuter vehicle. Why risk it, get a second hand porsche and live the life !

    I entered my 30s and decided to leave behind all that went with my 20s especially, my 95 toyota camry. Am I ever glad that I did. Driving the Porsche Boxster S is like being transported from the mundane to the extraordinary. Im afraid that I will overuse the convertible top. Ive yet to feel even a bit of buyers remorse.
