2006 Porsche Boxster consumer reviews

I test drove this car and was amazed at its responsiveness. Handles beautifully, and is fast without being over the top. It?s true. There is no substitute.

Purschesed this car and couldnt be happier. Very fun to drive and lots of ways to make it your own while maintaining a classic porsche vibe.

I love it, one of the best cars , I ever own it. I would recommend this car to every family member and friends I know.

Have owned this beautiful car since 2007 and have no regrets whatsoever. I still get complements on its design and handling and I absolutely love the drive and sound, even with 97,000 miles it had no problems with normal maintenance. I just bought another to replace my Fun workhorse and will probably keep it for about the same time period. Not only are they a sports car but you can go grocery shopping or take a trip with the added interior trunk space so that it does double duty. Could not have been happier with my choice of drive.

Excellent sports car, well designed, engineered, and very reliable. A lot of fun to drive, both in the city and highway. Very easy to maneuver. Also, most people look good driving a Porsche and heads do turn to look.

Loved the car. It was my 3rd Porsche but unfortunately some idiot was speeding through a parking lot and t-boned it. This car literally saved my life. I basically walked away while the car was totalled. The safety features did their job and I'm here today writing about what an awesome car Porsche makes. Steel not aluminium, tin and/or plastic!!!

Every day I find more things about this car that I enjoy. It like having a go-cart on the street. Tight handling and good acceleration.

This car looks and runs like new. Performance and handling is fabulous. German engineering at its best!

Wonderful car, good price for an older car. Smooth ride with plenty of kick. Ease of convertible, one button and the rest is auto. Surprising how much "trunk space" there is, lots of groceries. Sleek, clean, hot car, turns heads as you drive by!

One overall and six sub categories of five stars each! That's how I come up with 35 stars. I had a 27 year career in the military, flying the best helicopters in the world in Special Operations. Then BOOM and I was grounded from multiple injuries. I turned my love of everything that flies to cars. I decided to buy myself a retirement present. Always had wanted a Porsche even though I had never driven one but I didn't even consider one because they were too expensive. Something in my head said go drive one. I did! I was hooked. I am now a Porsche fan in a huge way. Now that you are almost asleep with boredom...Let's go through the stars! Comfort: I've driven many cars cross country for thousands of miles but this Porsche is the only one that doesn't cause me cramps in the back of my legs. I can drive for 8 hours easily! Unbelievably comfortable! 5 stars! Performance: Phenomenal handling in the corners or straights for that matter. You feel completely in control no matter how fast you enter a corner. You point the vehicle deftly at the apex and you are carving a turn with precision. The power of the base Boxster is beautifully matched and I've never felt underpowered. Why didn't I race cars for a living! I could have been an F1 superstar. 5 more stars! Exterior Styling: The first glimpse I ever had of a Boxster was from behind and I fell instantly in love with the gorgeous roundness and perfect proportion of this rear end. Maybe it's better if your friend has one and you can just follow him around gazing at the rear. Another 5 stars! Interior Styling: Every switch and gauge is perfectly placed and easily reached. Nothing is over done or tacky. Just right! Yet another 5 stars! Value: If I had paid full price brand new (if I could have afforded it) it would have been worth it. I picked this astounding vehicle up at the 5 year old mark for $29,000 and it only had 13,700 That. A very easy decision because nothing out there can give you all this for that prBCE. Surely you are expecting, 5 more stars! Reliability: I am under the impression that Porsche is the only automobile maker of perfect driving cars that are completely reliable for every single day transportation. It may look like a gorgeous and high strung thoroughbred but under the skin is a Clydesdale wowork skin drive, drive, drive it! You'll definitely want to avoid one as your daily driver BUT ONLY IF you are hauling children or pets. Not only reliable but stubbornly so. This is an obvious and easy 5 more stars! Overall: It would show crass ignorance to go 5 stars in every category and then award less in the Overall category. What's worse..., it would make this whole review worthless! However, the only reason to give this vehicle 5 stars in every category is because they didn't give me the 6 star option! If you like to do some or all of your own maintenance, the Porsche Boxster is once again peerless. From oil & filter changes (100% synthetic Amsoil European if you really care) to air filters, brakes and rotors and many other items it is a dream to maintain. I've been thrilled with this vehicle from the first and it still makes me smile every time I drive it! 5+5+5+5+5+5+5! An easy review to write. 35 STARS!
