Porsche Boster S
Advantages: Beautiful exterior and interior. fast. turns heads. Disadvantages: Fuel consumption if driven daily
Well, we purchased our new Porsche Boxter S model, I don't know where to start, We ordered it in Atlas Grey Metallic Exterior color,with a black soft top, Full black leather, Bi-Xenon leadlights package 19 inch turbo wheels adaptive sport seats, Sports package the whole works! I was amazed when we flew up to Toronto Ont. to pick her up, Driving home to Nova Scotia was a blast, Power is unreal the car just roared down the highway, pickup speed was ... ...from the Z4 from bmw. The handeling in the boxter is amazing, the only better handeling roadster i think is the BMW z4, The boxter is very comfortable, its ok on gass, But this is not a everyday driving car for us. I think if your in the market for a porsche. Go with the boxter instead of the Cayman S. the soft top convertable comes in handy on sunny days. ...

Porsche Boxster 3.2S
Advantages: Fast, good looking, great handling, fun Disadvantages: Costs, maintenance needs
I recently bought a Porsche Boxster S 3.2. It's red with black interior, ABS, Traction Control, Trip Computer, Surround sound system and the usual Boxster bits.
I paid about £12K for this model, X reg, 84000 miles. Then the problems started:
1. Airbag light was on...needed new ECU costing £350 (dealer paid)
2. 2x new rear tyres...Michelin £200 each (dealer paid)
3. Emission Control light came on. Reset by Porsche £50...two days later, came on ... ...(dealer paid)
6. Front and rear CV gaiters needed replacing (dealer paid) 7. Front tyres needed replacing...£260
Having had all this work done, the car is brilliant. Very fast, 6 speed gearbox for shorter gear ratios. 152+ mph and 280bhp. Handles exceptionally well. 25 - 30 mpg; but driving like an old person got 35mpg.
Other needs:
1. Front brake hose needs replacing
Insurance cost £820 fully comp, tax is about £200 per annum, £70 to fill the ...

Porsche Boxster
Advantages: Great Car! Disadvantages: Fuel Consumption
I used to own a Porsche and i have to say they are truly great cars, the boxster is a perfect sports cars for a single guy, and 911's and cayennes are gret for families. The tiptronic feature wich was introduced to the boxster is another great advantage. It has brillaint acceleration going from 0-62 in around 5 seconds! The interior just speaks for itself, just pure design. If you ever get the chance to get a Porsche make sure you can get the porsche ...

MID LIFE CRISIS???
Advantages: STYLE, SPEED AND VALUE FOR MONEY NOW Disadvantages: NOT MANY
...SAY THAT TO GET A 6 YEAR OLD, MID-ENGINED 'PROPER' SPORTS CAR FOR UNDER £16,000 WITH A PORSCHE BADGE ON THE FRONT, IS AN ABSOLUTE BARGAIN AND THE FUN YOU WILL HAVE IN IT WILL BE WORTH 3-4 TIMES THAT.
INSURANCE IS REASONABLE TOO.
THANKS FOR READING MY REVIEW. DEAN ...

Punching above its weight
Advantages: The best handling car for the money Disadvantages: Every man and his dog has one
...for eight years now, and Porsche has just brought out an updated model - 80% new, apparently, but you'd never know it from the outside. Many Porsche purists regard it as the poor man's Porsche, and in many respects, it is. With a price tag of around £30k new, and as one of the ultimate bargain roadsters second-hand (good quality, late-90s models can be bought for less than £18k), it hardly stacks up against any of the 911s in terms of price. The ... ...is it's real selling point. Porsche developed a perfectly weighted, rigid chassis with the most direct steering you'll come across. You can feel the car through your hands, through your bum, through your legs, every part of your body feels like it's at one with the car to the point that sliding the tail out round a hairpin bend becomes more fun than scary. But after so spectularly turning the corner, the coupe shows its limitations - 230 horses doesn't ...
