Fun...fun...fun

I bought my 2013 Boxster S from a private party after months of searching. I wanted certain colors and options. So, it took awhile to find what I wanted. I am glad I did not compromise. I drive it 4 - 5 days a week around town or up in the mountains. It is as enjoyable a sports car as I have owned. (My last one was a ZO6 'vette.) That car would beat the Box in a straight line. It had extraordinary acceleration. But, introduce some sharp curves and not alot of straightaways and the Box would hold its own. The Porsche is certainly more fun to drive. I have an Audi A8 for highway trips. But, I have taken the Boxster on drives of a couple hundred miles and felt fine after the several hour trip. All in all, this is a terrific car and anyone considering a purchase, just go drive one. You will be sold.

Dreams are made of Porsches

Been wanting to own a Porsche for a long time. I've been a fan for as long I can remember. Finally put some money aside to buy one. After more than a year of searching, I finally found the one, a 2013 Boxster S. It's nicely optioned and the price was good. The performance is what I expected of a Porsche. And it looks beautiful. I hope to enjoy it for a long time.

Excellent single car garage choice

As long as you don't need a lot of space, this is a fantastic daily driver. The shift mechanism, brakes, balance, motor, build quality, and materials are top notch. The steering is only slightly disappointing, but it's the best EPS system I've driven (of many).

Makes driving fun

This car is fun for a number of reasons. If you are single, it without question gets attention if that is what you are looking for. If you are married or dating it is really enjoyable to go places with your significant other with the top down. Driving at night with the top down is relaxing and thrilling at the same time. Everyone that rides with me always smiles and says it is fun. The sound the car makes when accelerating is addicting. For those of you that have access to curvy roads it is amazing how this car feels attached to the road. I live in the Ozarks of Northwest Arkansas and driving it year round through the scenery is the best driving experience I've had. Even in the winter when it is a bit cold you can drive with the top down because the heated seats and climate control system keep you feeling just fine. If you want a car that is actually fun to drive you should check it out.

best fun car ever

incredible car and value for money. Rides like a super car but still good for commuting. Amazing engine sound. Real driver's car with manual gears and naturally aspirated boxer engine.

Stunningly Amazing Car

This is a car that was designed to be fun. As such, it will probably be the most fun car I ever drive. The car just sticks to the road. Around corners it is an experience like no other. Can't wait to eventually hit the track. Interior is no different than other Porsches of it's time. I have the all leather interior which seems like a waste of money if you buy new. This bad boy also sounds amazing with the top down in stock form, but might have some modifications coming in the future. Sport Chrono is a must!

Great Car

Great car to Drive .... Great to own Quality is wonderful. I drove the Porsche, Boxster was by far the best fun I have ever had. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like riding on rails. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! On my first 500+ mile trip, I averaged 25.8 mpg. If you're looking for a new performance convertible.

Extremely Responsive, Fun Car

If you're a car enthusiast, this is definitely a great option. It's a great alternative to the Cayman and uber ornate 911. The base can get about 265hp while the Boxster S can get about 315hp. For the horsepower, it's extremely responsive, and it accelatrates immediately. There are compartments in the front and back of the car, so there is plenty of trunk space. The engine is in the middle of the car, so it is well balanced, and it handles very well. It's not ideal for commuting, as it does not get the best gas mileage, but rather for pure leisure. The roar of the engine is very attractive and loud, much like the Jaguar F-Type. As with any sports cars, you sometimes have to sacrifice luxury. The buttons and instruments on the dashboard are a bit confusing at first; however, you get use to it after a while. Overall, the Boxter is definitely eye catching. I get a lot of stares whenever I take it out for a spin. I don't know if it's because I'm a 21 year old driving a new Porsche, or whatever the case may be, it will get you a lot of attention. If you plan on using it for Sunday drives/leisure, this definitely is a great option. If it's something you'd use for work/commuting, I'd suggest getting a Panamera instead.
