A sublime sports car

I can find no faults with this car aside from the current asking prices. The driving experience is unrivalled with the possible exception of the 911, the engine sounds superb, and it is comfortable enough to be your only car. Unfortunately, with the price, it may have to be. Let someone else take the depreciation hit, and you can end up with a fantastic sports car for a bargain.

Love my 7th Porsche

this is my 7th Porsche and by far, the best Porsche I have ever had. I love the new engine and the performance of the car. The engine and sound are great and I think there is way too much emphasis on the new 4 cylinder being not as good as the outgoing 6 cyl, The new 718 is a phenomenal car and is the fastest Porsche I have ever owned. I love this car and recommend it to anyone looking for an all around great sports car.

911 in Disguise

This vehicle is 'state of the art' with comfort, tecnology, and performance. 350 HP in a 4 cylinder sport vehicle. It is simply a visceral expereience I wish everyone could enjoy.

Solid Vehicle - Responsive.

I am thrilled to be the new owner of a 718 Boxster S. With 350 horsepower this car moves on a dime. The car is tight/solid. I recommend this car to female executives like myself that want the thrill of a sportscar but the reliability, comfort and safety you feel with a larger vehicle. This baby packs it all in! Go for it! -- I've driven porsches for 18 years...never disappoints.

Fun in the sun

The Boxster is a lot of fun to drive, excellent handling, great gas economy, very reliable. For the price the best sports car in the market.

Amazing upgrade in some aspects exceeds my 911.

Instrumentation, handling, value and quality Provide a Hallmark vehicle standard for Porsche Sportscars.

A home run for Porsche

Off the line, the 350-hp 2.5-liter shoves a little harder, particularly when you activate launch control (Porsche only stock Boxsters with PDK dual-clutch automatics), and chases the red line with more zeal. In the mid-range, the 2.5L and old flat six cylinder are remarkably similar. Its just fun and full of performance surprises.
