  Good Car - 2000 Porsche Boxster
  By Dwight - December 8 - 6:30 pm

  The Porsche Boxster is a good automobile. It is fun to drive, easy to maintain, gets great gas mileage, has a good design, and it has plenty of room for two + luggage.

  Never again - 2000 Porsche Boxster
  By CO_Steve - July 8 - 10:46 pm

  While I agree with all the positive comments about the Boxster my bought new 2000 suffered a bearing failure at 22,000 miles and five years which required total engine replacement. Factory 3/36 had run out. No consideration from Porsche. Known problem. I could have bought many more Porsches in my life but never again.

  Brother of the 914 - 2000 Porsche Boxster
  By bwlaclair - May 11 - 9:40 pm

  Porsche has always made a well built car but the Boxster is very well bulit... the design is flawless I always get looks in this car the interior is sporty but a little dull. This car delivers most of it all except the power its a little slugish but not bad power for only 217 ponies. This car is what you would call a Porsche cruiser that can get up when you need to and get out of the way....and the canyons well their really no match for Boxsters.

  Boxster S - Great product - 2000 Porsche Boxster
  By JulBox - December 21 - 2:00 am

  Car has never not started. Always fun to drive. Ride is a little rough, but thats a choice for the handling - which is superlative. The only drawbacks are: 1) for a tall person (over 6) the seat adjustment results in ones head being capable of hitting the roll bar in an accident. 2) Those non-glass rear windows (not in current model) are difficult to keep looking perfect.

  Excellence in Motion - 2000 Porsche Boxster
  By layedbak1 - February 26 - 2:51 pm

  Have driven and owned many cars in my life, and this little Boxster is by far the most fun to drive. The only one I have driven that comes close was a 1965 Jag XKE coupe. The only negative was the IMS bearing issue that I noticed before it became a catastrophe, and had replaced with a LN Engineering ceramic ball bearing IMS bearing. Worth every penny. Theres nothing like the growl of that boxster engine at 5500 rpms, or the handling on turns. You havent experienced the pleasure of real driving until you take one of theses babies out for a spin.

  Fun in the sun, but lacks torque - 2000 Porsche Boxster
  By Dave Kalz - October 24 - 10:00 am

  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 go - July 24 - 10:00 am

  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.
