Well, it is quite simply the best convertible Porsche has ever made, bar none. It was designed from the ground-up as a roadster, with the ideal balanced mid-engine design.

If it lacks anything it is a little bit of horsepower. That was a choice Porsche made for marketing reasons, for geniune fear that it would outrun the flagship 911. (The fear proved real, witness the 911-powered RUF 3400 and 3600) Nonetheless, the Boxster still runs some excellent track times due to the great chassis and brakes.

Anyone who chooses to ignore what the automotive press has been saying about the Boxster since 1996 isn't a true car enthusiast, but a poser.
