Run, don’t walk. Buy this car!

Not a daily driver. But, by far the most fun car I’ve ever owned. Bought a 2013 S MT in 2015, still can’t part with it in 2024. This one’s a keeper. It is a pure joy to drive, mostly top down but even top up, the flat 6 boxer engine sound is incredible. Handling is superb - it’s like the car is an extension of the person driving it…the car goes where ever you want it to go effortlessly and nimbly…it’s amazing! The 981s MT is an incredible value. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made.

Great 2nd car for fun.

1st Porsche -a base 2013 6-spd. I've owned a lot of more powerful sports cars. BMW's Audi, Vette's whatever. I love this car -drop the top and cruise the mountain roads -get serious in the twisties and the precision in handling and the sound of that flat 6 on downshift and acceleration to meet that next corner? Enough said. As a daily driver -no. as a weekend or extended weekend trip with the SO -sublime.

Truly lives up to the hype!

This car is an amazing roadster and easily the best bang for your buck. I have also owned a Miata and the Boxster feels much more refined. If you are able to afford it, I feel that the Boxster is just a better Miata (more comfortable, more spacious, faster, looks a lot better)

Two Seats, No Waiting

It’s not often that you can find a two seat roadster that can be comfortable enough for a daily driver and handle well enough to be a track car. The Boxster S is that rare automobile that can do both. If you want to drop the top and cruise to your fave eatery while basking in lots of admiring glances, get ready. Just know when you summon the six cylinder engine the Boxster S will respond and that is before you hit the Sport or Sport Plus buttons. Then the car roars to life and turns beastly. That hard driving machine can also include driver comforts like two small trunks, fourteen way adjustable seats, launch control, twenty inch tires, a 445 watt Bose stereo and a top that folds at speeds up to 30 MPH. You can tool around Los Hollywood or drive it at Le Mans. Porsche designed the Boxster S to be a brilliant sports car and they succeeded.

Drives like a dream and stunning to look at

Love everything about this car: fun and easy to drive, comfortable yet exotic. Prefer this to Porsche's 911 model. It's just what I was looking for

Most sexy black sport car

It is the best to drive all day long and the hit the corner without trouble. Power is enough to cruise with the top down.

Was hesitant at first, but glad I purchased

Ok, ok...didn't spring for the S but find the car a joy to drive. Love the notchy feel of the 6 MT. Great clutch engagement and enough power when above 4500 rpm. Great expressway speed road feel not only in the curves. The spirt mode does improve throttle response. Yeah, wish I had another 100hp.

Attention Grabber

Not a day goes by when I’m not complimented on my Porsche Boxter. I don’t know what it is about the car. Maybe it’s the color or stylish contemporary look, but it definitely grabs attention both while parked and on the road.

Seriously the best car I have ever owned

Seriously the best car I have ever owned and driven and honestly hate selling it. Amazing car. Comfort, performance, and styling are amazing. i personally think its better looking then any of the 911's and being a mid engine car the car drives like its on rails.
