2002 Porsche Boxster consumer reviews

The Boxster is the perfect Porsche. It has styling very similiar to the iconic Carrera but is better built / more dependable and at half the price of the Carrera. Sporty, fast, and fun to drive.

Fun to drive great stability low maintenance 82k and no problems at all love it. Wanted the cayman but no moonroof no fun to much

Have always wanted a Porsche. Love the handling and great engine and body style. Got in at entry level with a 2002 very clean Boxster. Unfortunately, not such a great dealer.... got a car that needed much, much mechanical work!!! What a pain! My fault...should have had extensive mechanical pre-purchase investigation done on my end...300 miles distance involved between me and auto dealer...too trusting...their warrany worthless....that was a big ha ha ....bought a car that required main seal replacement, plus bushings, plus crankshaft seal replacement, none covered under dealer "warranty"! 3000 miles/3 months....Wow! Some Warranty. I'm soured on used car dealers. Love the car but it's a pain in the butt. Have spent close to $2,000 for immediate repairs... More to come. It will be totally new by the time I've replaced/repaired all that needs to make everything right. Thank goodness I've got a good and conscientious mechanic...What's up with the 88 point inspection the dealer was supposed to do???? Should be a great car;looks great but has some issues. Runs great but problems. Buyer beware! Check for oil leaks, Boxsters do not leak oil as a rule!!! (As I was told, flathead engines always leak oil.....not true.) Please be aware! Have your car checked our thoroughly and strike a good warranty!!!

Just got this car a couple months ago and love it. It is fun to drive and corners like its on rails. I put the top down every chance I get and just go. I traded my Harly for this and have no regrets.

we purchased a red 2002 and have had it for a few months. We drive it only on sunny days and always with a big smile. the 5 speed transmission shifts with great smoothness and the engine pulls nicely in all gears. For us, the smaller engine is super as I prefer the joy of driving to super power (I am getting older). Ours has a removable aluminum top that we can now get on and off easily - it did take some learning at first however. The car handles curves so well, and is just as sweet on the highway. We have every intention of keeping the car for a long time and baby it with a car cover and a carport, we even have a ceramic mouse deterrent under the car at all times. And the trunks! yes the two are big enough for a few small things - we went to a game at U. Penn and packed a tailgate in front and back. it worked fine, I have not tried to put a suitcase in it yet. guess I will need to pack lightly. the odd part of the car is of course that you can not see the engine - no neat polished rows of valve covers, no polished throats of weber carbs as in my cars of old, one must take it on faith that there is an engine and that it will increase your heart rate to get it moving. do watch the speedometer however as at the standard highway speed limit the needle is still barely moving off of zero. In short, we LOVE it.

Amazing fun for a sports car! cars.com allow me to find this baby quick and easy. Great site! This won't be the last that's for sure!

Always puts a smile on my face, just alot of fun to drive....always owned Corvettes, but this is more fun.

always responds no problems at all great design and great comfort incredible performance and low maintanance excellent relationship between price and product

Hands down, NOTHING beats a Porsche in fit, finish, and feel. The Boxster S will out perform a Carrera in the slaloms. If you like the balance of a mid-engine sports car, this is it!

I've tried almost all the sporty convertables and this Porsche is by far the best. The Boxster S does everything well. It looks great, sounds great, handles great, and is a pure joy to drive. Even without PSM the car corners well. You have to hit the gas in a corner to break the tail loose. Sticks corners like rails. Responsive and fun. Best to buy one used with a Porsche Certified Warranty.
