  Satisfied Customer - 1st Porsche - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By Debby - October 9 - 10:00 am

  It took 5 months from order to delivery to receive my 2002 Boxster but well worth the wait. Hard Top, Tip, Comfort & Sport Pkgs. This is my 1st Porsche experience and loving every minute of it. I have no real negatives at this time having only owned it for 4 months. Pleasant experience with my dealership and highly recommend them.

  Incredible car - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By boxsterkidsj - August 26 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned my Porsche for 4 mos now. Ive put about 4500 miles on it, and love it to death. My other car is a 2001 Audi A4, and there is no comparison. The car came w/ almost every option you can think of besides the navigation system. The PSM is worth the $1230. No complaints.

  quality not there - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By knuckles - May 22 - 10:00 am

  too many problems--rear seals seem to have problem on their bulletin boards, clutch is weak, hydraulic front hood that needs to be jumped to open if the battery is dead is a poor design feature

  Poor Reliability of the Boxster "S" - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By Peter Pattison - March 14 - 10:10 pm

  My Boxster "S" purchased new by me in October 2001 has been the single most unreliable car that I have ever owned.The attitude of Porsche Cars GB Ltd and the Porsche Centre Reading has been and is one of unhurried indifference towards their customers.This is my fourth and LAST Porsche. It is little wonder that they rate much lower than Skoda on the J.D.Power survey. The car has had continual warranty problems from day one culminating in the failure or the intermediate gear and bearing, cost to me £3344.79 the parts of £873.71 supplied grudgingly by Porsche Cars GB F.O.C as this is a well documented design fault with this model. Porsche need to take some lessons from Lexus.

  There is no substitute!! - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By MikeG - January 8 - 5:30 pm

  Ive owned more sports cars over the past 40 years than I care to remember including Corvettes, "Z" and even a Firebird 400. None come close to as much fun to drive as my 02 S Boxster. The acceleration and handling are as much as I need at this point in my life. Ive wanted a Porsche for as long as long they have been producing the 911 but never could justify the cost. The Boxster fit my budget and has given me everything I could have wanted in roadster. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a really fun car to drive.

  always a blast - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By AMK - November 14 - 2:00 am

  I drive my car every day, and it is always fun. It handles every situation with finesse. Nothing could be better than a sunny day with the top down, but it handles rainy weather with confidence. It is more practical than one would expect from a two- seater sports car, but plenty of room with the two trunks. Its my only car, and the only car I need.

  S - The Poor Mans Expensive Porsche - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By sxg - September 7 - 10:00 am

  My first Porsche Boxster S 6-sp. Had BMW 528i, 5-sp. Dealer experience – nothing special. Got options I wanted, except for CD changer. Buyers have to compromise on options. Car handling is exceptional, looks are a little ostentatious, but its a Porsche after all. Since car is still in break-in phase, cannot reach the superlative engine-note stratosphere, but will get there soon. Decided to go with this impractical auto instead of BMWs M3, which was a serious contender but lost out due to unavailability. Porsche certainly has its exclusive cachet, but other cars are offering better price/performance ratios.

  seasoned porsche owner - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By LB Zayszly - August 1 - 3:53 am

  I own a 1990 944 S2 convertible, and when I first saw the Boxster, I knew I had to have one. I also have the best Porsche mechanic in the business. I dont see him very often, because of the reliability of these cars. Personally, I dont want to ever drive another type of vehicle.The name Porsche speaks volumes and their reputation is unsurpassed. You have to know how to drive to appreciate these cars.

  best in class - 2002 Porsche Boxster
  By daveyboy39 - May 16 - 2:00 am

  My Boxster S has performed beyond expectation for both my wife and I. We got the Tiptronic(automatic for her) since she was unsure of the clutch. Yet, I am still have the feel of the clutch and the thrill of shifting. The cars smooth ride on the highways make it very enjoyable for weekend trips or quick trips to the grocery store.
