I just started my research on these cars. I would love to know common problems they have, driving characteristics, the good the bad, etc.
I will have to sell my teener (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) and current daily diver VW both to buy a Boxter thanks, Levon |

I've driven and autocrossed an S and regular boxster. The extra power of the S is defintely nice. I'd spring for the S. Handling is phenominal, it stops, it goes, it turns. It's a very neutral platform, really fun to drive. I suppose it can get boring at times, but that's all subjective. As with any newer Porsche, mod parts are fairly expensive, can't compare to the 914s. Also as mentioned here, don't expect the car to hold it's value, Boxster values are on a crash course and have been for years. In 2002 my mom purchased a 2000 boxster with 6k miles for $32k. Eventually you'll see people stripping boxsters down to a bare frame autox/track platform. However, it's an out of the box track car that needs nothing.
Good luck! |
