Professional Reviews

• “From a practical standpoint, the Boxster is eminently livable. The top can be raised or lowered at a moment's notice, making top-down motoring an easy decision.” — New Car Test Drive
• “Even base models easily nudge $50,000 when popularly equipped, but this is still the most affordable way to live the 'Porsche experience'.” — Consumer Guide
• “A mid engine design and classic Porsche styling, not to mention sublime steering and brakes, give the Boxster a unique combination of traits that few cars can match at this price point.” — Edmunds.com
• “Entertaining and athletic, as expected of Porsches, with grippy stability, little body lean.” — Consumer Guide
• “All that stuff about a flat-6's low center of gravity and a mid-engine car's low polar moment of inertia isn't just marketing fluff; this thing changes direction like a cat on Velcro.” — Road & Track
• “Right car at the right time, the Boxster entered a growing market matured by the popular Mazda Miata, and enlivened by the James Bond-promoted BMW Z3 and a droptop version of the C5 Corvette.” — Motor Trend
• “Unfortunately, the same setup that performs so wonderfully on smooth, curvy roads, delivers a moderately harsh ride on dilapidated urban streets.” — Car and Driver
