Porsche Boxster 3.2S 2003

My ’03 3.2S hasn’t missed a beat in eighteen months/13,000 miles of ownership. A recent 2,300 mile tour of Scotland gave an indicated 37.2 mpg. While that may not impress owners of small cars, I was staggered! One thing I’m not impressed with is the brakes. The large vented discs and red callipers may look great but they certainly don’t feel it. Normal driving is fine... but jump on the brakes and the pedal feels very spongy. Repeated heavy braking quickly leads to bad fade. I certainly won’t be using the Boxster for track days without an upgrade.

Porsche Boxster 2004

What a fantastic car, why pay 20k for a Ford when you can get a great low mileage Porsche Boxster for the same price. Build quality is superb and the handling is spot on. It is a superb all rounder and is just as happy pottering round town as on the open road.

Porsche Boxster S 3.4 tiptronic 2006

Have had the Boxster now for 18 months and 11000 miles. It`s as fast as anyone would want on the roads, and handles instinctively - point and go. Traction control is brilliant when you over do it. Previously had BMW Z4, which by comparison was tail twitchy, breaking out suddenly - scary. Tiptronic box with `paddles` is excellent, but don`t expect much more than 16mpg when pushing on - 29mpg possible on motorways. Its a head turner, and not much difference in appearance from 911, particularly at front end. Problems to date - key stuck in ignition lock requiring recovery to garage - change of ignition barrel handled well by Porsche, including courtesy car. Otherwise solid and reliable. Compulsory extras - rear parking control; larger steering wheel (standard is `skinny` feeling) Extras to avoid - funny colours; expensive sat nav/telephone; radio upgrades (can`t hear it anyway when you`re roaring) I usually get `itchy feet` about 18 months into owning a car, and start lusting for others, but not with this one. It makes commuting a pleasure, and the weekends fun.

Porsche Boxster 3.4s 2006

This is really my wifes car and has done nearly 10,000 miles. Excellent, much improved from the old 3.2 with great build quality and performance. Why pay 20K for a 911 and get fractionally more performance value for money? The best soft top on the market.

Porsche Boxster 3.2S

Porsche really are living on past glory. New Engine at 6500 miles in the 3.2S Boxster. Nice to drive (my wife thought it was great) but big loss when you sell. Then bought a GT3 then but needed a diff at 11000 miles. Get your act together Porshe you are taking the piss on reliability.

Porsche Boxster Porsche Boxster 2.7

I’ve had my Boxster now for 10 months and am still enjoying it as much as I did on the first day I took delivery. I’ve had no problems whatsoever and have had 10 months worry free, fun driving. Okay so it’s not the most economical car but for the performance and pure pleasure you get it’s definitely value for money.
