As many of stated here, it's a fine automobile for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to:
1) It's a Porsche, whether 911 lovers like it or not
2) It handles like a dream; few cars can match it; that's a fact 
3) It ranges from quick to pretty darn fast, depending on your year and whether or not you have an S
4) It saved Porsche; that's a fact
5) The Cayman is based off of it, which is another worthy Porsche
I gotta admit, I'd take a 911 Turbo or maybe a Carrera 4S over my Boxster, but I'd also be spending $65,000-$95,000 to buy one used. My Boxster used cost me just over $30,000 :dance: |
Hi,
All very true except for #4 - the
Fact that it saved Porsche. Since it's introduction, the Boxster has never outsold the 911 in any given year and while it may have added some net sales, it also undoubtedly skimmed off some (maybe even a significant number) sales of 911s because it was a pure roadster and because it was cheaper. The moneymaker which pulled Porsche back from the abyss was the Cayenne...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
