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.

  • Good Car - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    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.

  • Great car !!! - 2000 Porsche Boxster

    Overall nice car, but not even comparable to her big sister the 911....

  • Never again - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    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.

  • Boxster S "A Hedonistic Dream" - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    This car is the most fun to drive car I have ever owned. It isnt the quickest off the line and it isnt cheap. However, it is the best handling stock performance car available for under 55K and its a Porsche. The stability (even is adverse conditions) is remarkable and it has been reliable to boot thus far. Not cheap to maintain, but given the fact that maintenance is due every 15,000 miles makes the high price reasonable.

  • Fun to Drive - 2000 Porsche Boxster

    It has been 9 months since my purchase and the thrill of driving this vehicle has not faded. What a well build machine. I am loving my 35 mile commute.

  • Boxster 2.7 - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    My 2000 Porsche Boxster S is a fun car. Its great with the top down. It does not have enough power though. the custom 18" wheels make a difference. Its quite a head turner for little money. Its aerodynamics are not great at high speeds. To enjoy speed or racing, it requires custom body kits, which are extremely expensive. I consider it as a charming go-kart with great handling, but poor performance. Dont get the tiptronic transmission. Shiftning makes this car more fun.

  • My first car - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    Ive driven many sports cars. Though Im only sixteen, my friends and I drive exotic and expensive cars. Such other cars consist of the Honda s2000, Cadillac cts, and the Audi tt Quattro. However, as fun as these cars are, all of them fade in comparison to the boxster. I myself received a boxster 2.7 for my sweet sixteen. The styling is beautiful, and the performance is unmatched for its class. If youre looking for a fun-to-drive, sporty convertible, THIS IS THE CAR FOR YOU.

  • The Porsche Myth? - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    Can it be that good and different and cost so much to justify owning one? For me the answer is a resounding YES! Its fun, fast, superlative handling AND extremely reliable (After 4 yrs, always once start and drive). No other cars feel like it, the combination of speed AND comfort, it gets downright luxurious cruising the 2lane country byways, utter smoothness and quiet top down/side windows up. Simply amazing, truly one of lifes great pleasure.

  • My Car - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    The 2000 Porsche Boxster is a fantastic car. Im a regional salesman and do well over 30,000 miles a year. This car has never broke down and it still looks great.

  • Boxster Standard, Y2k model - 2000 Porsche Boxster
    By -

    To date, this has been a remarkable car. I am still somewhat surprised - almost alarmed - that it only requires service every 15000 miles (including oil changes!). The vehicle is solid, easily kept, and drives like flight. It has an extremely quiet engine - and a throaty voice that comes out at 4k- 5k RPM, which is where your real neck- snapping power is. This vehicle eats noisy custom Hondas without breaking a sweat, despite their drivers testosterone rush at the sight of you. The joy here isnt in your fast takeoffs - its in the neck-snapping power youve got in high RPMs. In one word: Wow.
