Professional Reviews

• “God's own steering response, glorious engine note, excellent transmission.” — Car and Driver
• “Infuriating steering-wheel shift buttons, track-stiff ride, ridiculous option pricing.” — Car and Driver
• “So inherently good that we're willing to justify paying through the nose for one.” — Car and Driver
• “Light and eager, the Porsche Boxster steers through the corners like a roller skate, as always. ” — Automobile
• “With the top in place, the Boxster seems to run into a barrier of wind resistance at 151 mph (8 mph shy of Porsche's claimed top speed).” — Automobile
• “The second-generation Boxster has slightly more muscular proportions; it now looks like a genuine statement of style, not just a bite-size fashionista.” — Automobile
• “...the revised intake and exhaust manifolds enhance the throttle response, and the bigger-diameter dual exhaust adds the perfect soundtrack. In short, this new engine provides sports car nirvana and is reason enough alone to drive with the roof down.” — CAR
• “...it's still a bit cluttered, cramped, there's insufficient steering wheel adjustment and the hood could be a bit less fiddly.” — CAR
• “Hardcore roadster's don't come any more enjoyable than this.” — CAR
• “A completely redesigned cockpit with a new center console and 911-style seats is set off by a fully adjustable steering column with a 3-spoke steering wheel. Although the instrument pod retains its familiar three-dial layout, the speedometer, tach and gauge modules, which feature black faces for the normal Boxster and white faces for the S, are set farther apart for better viewing.” — Road & Track
• “Value aside, however, I like the new Boxster because it finally looks and drives the way I would expect it to.” — Road & Track
