I've had both and currently have a Boxster S. They are both great cars but for me the Porsche is worth the extra money. I've had a Honda S2000 as well which was a great car but didn't handle as well as the Porsche. Rating for me, Porsche, Honda then Audi.

[@weejim48]

I drive an 04 Boxster S every day. I have owned lots of different cars over the years but I have to say the Porsche is fantastic. It does everything you could ever want & won’t deprecate as fast as the other cars in its class. Good vid.👍

[@amandahoyle8906]

just bought BOXSTER S and agree with the review - it just wants to be revved and makes you smile

[@ambitionsskyyyy]

Hi Amanda

[@retepyam5858]

Having owned an Audi TT, replaced my modded MX5 Turbo BBR poor thing died of tin worm and currently a 911, the difference in how they drive is light years apart. The feeling, steering, feedback and excitement of the Porsche is far far better. The Audi Quattro may be faster on some roads, especially in bad weather, but the Porsche is the one that will put a big grin on your face.

[@sullysullivan1187]

Finally a reviewer I like !!!! Where u been the guy bores meeeee

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

one of my all-time favorite car reviews

[@Sleepy.Time.]

some lovely weather you are having

[@aquagymm]

I fully agree, I have a 2005 Porsche Boxster as a daily drive and I'm more then happy to go to work every day

[@Dark_Wings88]

Bought a boxter a few Days ago. The 6 cylinder and the handling make it special and worth the Money!

[@bhanu51197]

Congratulations man! How have you been liking it so far? Edit - Also, did you get the Boxter S?

[@joserobertonakata5947]

Three beautiful machines!

[@theokan89]

no one cross-shops between a Porsche and a VW Golf based TT. The Porsche is the choice of all that love driving.

[@ForgetfulFoot]

I actually did cross shop them. I ended up buying a Porsche Cayman/Boxster. But for the the price of a 10 year old base Cayman (no options), I could buy a near new TT with remaining factory warranty for the same price with cash to spare. Porsche's just do not depreciate as much. But the TT is an excellent car, the interior is stunning.

[@nickhastings6705]

The boxster's are awesome cars however old they are...got a 2002 Boxster S and still goes well

[@abc2662]

Nice video, but I'd like to know how the Boxter would compare to the 306hp TT-S which would be closer on pricing. Thanks for the excellent work!

[@bighands69]

***** When you start to enter those level of performance figures handling and driving capabilities start to become an issue.

[@tj9382]

I don’t know what makes me more excited, the delightful Rebecca or the cars but it’s probably Rebecca. 😍

[@moneycultural102]

What is the music of this video? Sounds great!

[@BenzinioB]

Is there really a place for wondering? Boxter is way better - the look, the trill, the dynamic... Although TT is nice car it is still a front wheel drive VW Golf underneath. And I really don't like new front gill and lights neither the stupid TFT display instead normal gages - I would like to drive car not Ipad!

[@xCopaCOD]

+benzfen Well it was tested by a woman... Obviously she values different things than men usually do ;)

[@BenzinioB]

xCopaCOD I'm not sure you are right... usually I will agree, but she is a racing driver and most probably have more experience then both of us together :)

[@xCopaCOD]

benzfen Not like that. I mean more like that this test is not made to check the better car in general but more to check which car is better roadster for the summer for cruising around I guess. Cause you can't really compare those two. Then you'd have to compare TTS/RS and Boxster or something like that.

[@kertii1]

+benzfen the tt in this video is AWD 2:02

[@BenzinioB]

AUT IceT Yes and? Still boring to drive compared to Boxter ...You can't drift, no mater how good is the suspension set up you going to feel the intervention of the power over the front axle... ...and it is still Audi not Porsche (although if I'm not wrong Porsche use the TT platform for Boxter) not to mention that Boxter looks way better in my ewes... and I really hate Audi new "digital display" for me this is a complete shit and no one need it - just a posh toy to charge you more... no thanks :)

[@jeremyburgess504]

Who washed that Boxster? :(

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

love it when she says TT

[@jasonl5589]

Rebecca is finally reviewing a Boxster! Her race car!

[@eaglebeagle1408]

Thanks for the comparison. Boxster 981 PDK DFI for me no question about it a cabriolet sports car that sounds and drives like one. With 20” Carrera wheels it holds the road better than anything I’ve driven. It’s not a hard ride either and the suspension is very comfortable, which is a great plus. Once driven forever smitten.

[@deniouchiyama3850]

What a beatifull place you are. Wide field. Very Green. I Wish I could be on a place like that.

[@tonym7568]

I really enjoy her accent. Super fun.

[@devisbetrisey5730]

I agree with you!

[@ch33psk8]

Thigh gap is the best design feature out of all three models :0)

[@eugn86]

I AGREE!

[@kingkong2798]

Best hardtop convertibles?

[@jubjub13483]

I think it depends what you want, if you want a open roof convertible that is very comfortable and you can use every day and dont care about the ultmatie driving thrills then you would go for the TT. However if you love driving and you want to have the most pleasure and feel the road with the nice RWD set up then the boxster is your choice.

[@ilijaprodanovic1347]

Well said, i completely agree!

[@barebarekun161]

I would go with Audi TT considering that Boxster for whatever the reason got insane tax added to the price. While Audi didn't,The TT starts at 3.1 million THB and Boxster starts at the ridiculous 6 million+ THB.

[@ericsham9784]

looks good 👍👍👍

One of the best roadster reviews ever! She's so fine and the weather is gorgeous, beautiful cars, no boring details and lovely accent...

[@scottslack4339]

Although i'm not a fan of the Boxster i'd choose it over the Audi TT regardless of price!

[@biggerbitcoin5126]

That Porsche badge...gotta have it.

[@jamesydunlop]

porche is dearer but you get what you pay for. mind the exhaustive options list though as its possible to get a very expensive boxter very easily .

[@simonkhar7112]

Just look at them two! VW beetle or R8 like coupe?

[@Raywilliamjohnston1]

Why on earth was she talking like that?!

[@MrPOPEPAUL]

Adam Pietryszyn Because she just loves herself. Although the way she continually keeps holding her hands together indicates she is quite insecure. She would make a good co-presenter with TG Richard Hammond, a pair of self loving midgets!

[@jeffk464]

Adam Pietryszyn Because she's a Brit.

[@markbooth]

I had a TT mkii and this one is better, but it's still a style driven road car, whereas the Boxster is a sports car. The Boxster GTS drives better than it's more expensive rivals let alone the TT, and I completely agree with the point made about feeling instantly at home behind the wheel. It's so planted and well balanced, even my wife didn't feel travel sick which is a first. I was loathed to test drive (poor man's 911?) but the wife insisted we at least try it. We spent hours with more expensive cars (even an F Type) but it took just 5 minutes to choose the Boxster instead. 18 months later and I still can't find anything to tempt me..... Except a Lambo :)

[@user-pj4fr6ch7j]

[@jonasrush5125]

it would have been more fair to compare the Boxter S with the Audi TTS Roadster that would have been a clear win for the Audi.

[@johns3822]

Jonas Rush that was not the Boxster S it was just the standard Boxster

[@andywasp]

Win for the Audi???? Dream on. Even the early 2.5 986 will corner better than an ‘18 plate’ TT.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

+Jimmy Kurniawan it's okay if it's a lass like that

[@TechGamesAU]

"Two litre TFSI" is not a 'version' of the TT, the entry level TT and the faster TTS both have the same engine, but the TTS is tuned faster. So stating that you're testing the "two litre TFSI" version doesn't actually tell us which TT model you're testing.

[@thelegendthatismatt]

I like her presenting but her voice is so up and down, it's really hard to listen to without it sounding really fake

[@fraziVLOG]

Her voice has completely changed from when she was on carbuyer...lol. Great review though!

[@gregoryhill6927]

I agree with miss Jackson the extra cost of the boxster would be worth it to own instead of the really nice Audi.

[@chuck4747]

i have t he tt right now and would stick with it.. i dont respect any rumor that anti turbo this day in age its like saying your anti hospital cuz you go to church ones a perfectly fine way of doing something the other in modern and can do it better and the fact their calling now i havent drove slower well im sure it is you can only bore an engine so much you turbo it as long as the design and alloy hold up ... seemingly transmission design should be able to compensate to a underrated level that im not totally aware of but i have seen a 1 to 1.5 seconds to 60 over tans design engine design more importantly turbo or n/a and trans design and weight but ill say this engine design cant beat turbo in reality cylinders cant either i mean turbos have a whole science of their own but way the setting come on turbos stock often expensive care that put it all into the other factors beat them and it seems like their just beginning to add them on top of cars that dont thats what really gets me they really are simply picking thinner engine walls for bore strength instead with turbos witch i dont think ever comes close in the same size cars in say a charger thats like a truck engine and win without turbo ... alas its all over anyway that musk ... its really is ... over the electric cars do things i never though i would be able to drive let alone afford at some point

[@8150shaf]

I didn't know she moved from Car Buyer to here haha. Go back to Car Buyer you were so good there

[@ShionHyrezUK]

Boxster S all the way! Its an amazing car, not so much the normal entry level one. That is more of the roadster stereo type. It lacks torque. The S is a beast though.Same with most Porsche models really. Save up and get an S

[@jeffk464]

Shion Earl yeah, whats with the base engine? My GTI pretty much matches it, its like they came up with it just for people to have to buy the higher model.

[@xsanmiguelx]

+Jeff K lmao, I hope you are not talking about the Golf GTI otherwise you are extremely far off reality.

[@badbeatking80]

I say Boxster! A bit bias since I have one :)

[@Fetii]

TTs would have been a better comparison, because the price is closer.

[@ChiroVideosTVlondon]

Yes but that might have meant a different result and no reviewer is going to say that an Audi is better than a Porsche. Almost every TT/Boxster review goes like this; "am in the TT, oh what a lovely interior, virtual cockpit is amazing, oh aren't the air vents lovely, it's really fast, great handling BUT I wish I could feel the road more (half won't even know what that means but they say it anyway now it doesn't understeer), it's quick but boring so don't buy it. Now I am in a Porsche in a totally different price category and basically I've wet myself as it is The Best Car Ever Made and can do no wrong".

[@Fetii]

sjb2015 Idk but i would any TT over a porsche all day every day.

[@andywasp]

If you want a cheap sporty saloon get the TT, if you want a proper sports car pay the money and get the Porsche.

[@andrewchristianson2086]

A couple nice cars with some nice horses running in the background and a nice looking girl. What could be better? LOL

[@cyberi4n]

I'd rather it if she didn't speak like a female Tiff Needell....

[@cadenguyen463]

The Audi TT has certainly improved styling design both inside and out, but it's driving experience just doesn't deliver to suit those sporty looks. I do understand that Audi likes their front wheel bias Haldex system, but they should atleast use a 70% rear bias for their more sporty models. *Yawn*. Audi make great daily drivers, but emotionless sports cars.

[@user-hs2hd7wp9g]

I'd prefer the TT, it's much more understate and you could even get the S version which would be better than the Porsche.

[@Doogerauoy]

[@taipeikartman]

She has got TTs! And don't forget to mind the gap!

[@scottgross3217]

Well first of all, I'd like to say thank you to you for demonstrating the both- perfect cars- for me to easily witness side by side, since I probably wouldn't have been able to do that. I see how this is a challenge; to decided which of two differently good cars is preferable. I see a slightly higher quality in Porsche, of course, that's how it is, but I love the feeling of modern high quality turbo charging and this Audi TT certainly is up there as one of the best. I am compelled to like the newest Audi TT over the Boxster. This is the 1st TT that I like the exterior of without wishing to change at least one small thing. I wouldn't change anything about this one. I disagree with people who say the computer screen is tacky. It is so gorgeous and even a Porsche would be sophisticated with it. I however understand why they like the old-fashioned mechanical gauges as those are sweet engineering and beautiful design, too. The TT screen is more capable, indisputably, yet tidy.

[@davidstirling1832]

Even if the Audi out performs the Porsche I would still have the Porsche because its the badge on the bonnet that makes the difference

[@JarekStrzelczyk]

Is it just me or.... Rebecca seemed to have more fun doing reviews for the previous party... ? All the stuff for Telegraph appears to be toned down.... Shame really, as she is joy to watch. Cheers

[@gergelykondas7842]

Both cars are great but they aren't practical at all. Not my favourites. I'd prefer to have an SUV or MPV (Volvo XC90, Kia Sedona...) yeah only in my dream, but this is about "what if is". But anyway both of them belong to VW-group so this time this German car manufacturer win the play.
