Looking to subscribe to a good Porsche magazine, any ideas?
 
I was wondering if there was a nice Porsche magazine out there that would give attention to the Boxster?
If anyone has any suggestions for some good reading, it would be appreciated. :cheers:

Panorama is useful. They had a series on transplanting a 3.4L into a first gen Boxster last year. It is free with a PCA membership along with a 10% discount at your Porsche dealer parts dept. :) Own a Porsche? Join the Club!

Also Excellence magazine is good.

I like Excellence Magazine

So Johnny... you find the pages get stuck together after those DIY jobs?

Thanks for the tips, guys. I'll check those out.

Join PCA like Topless said. I agree also with Excellence. Another one is GT Porsche. Pricey for a US subscription but you can get it on the iPad for less. They have a couple of Boxsters in their long term test fleet.

Excellence +2

I prefer Christophorus.

Excellence is by far the best.

I heard they had to give her a ride in a YELLOW Boxster... Go figure.

Funny stuff, Jager! :)

Excellence is not just a great Porsche magazine, it's one of the best American car magazines period. What they lack in instrumented testing they make up for in everything else. And to be honest, with all cars performing so amazingly well today, wasting an article telling me if one got to 60mph a tenth faster than another one is just cut-and-paste journalism.

Mark_T 09-17-2012 04:49 PM

Agreed. I always thought those "9mm vs 45" articles were just stupid. Seems no matter what magazine you buy, it's always that type of useless subjective tripe they're filled with. Excellence is indeed a cut above. I rarely see anything of interest in Panorama. Wish I could opt out in exchange for a cheaper membership rate.

Totally agree.. I just received the November issue of Excellence magazine in the mail, there is a great article on a 2003 S fitted with a 1955 550 Spyder body. Some of my Michigan gear-head home boys got together and created quite a machine.
