Car Tech - 2013 Porsche Boxster

cnet.co/TnhzTr
The new Boxster is unmistakably edgier and eager to be taken seriously as a "real" Porsche.

[@primeholyassasin20]

He have a very good review this time. Most sports cars have a lot of power, but you can't use it all at legal speeds, so you're kind of driving a car that has one arm tied behind its back. The base boxster has just enough power than you can push it's limits within legal limits, and enjoy the car at it's best. A very focused package. Still, how can you check your oil when the engine's buried in the middle?

[@porscheguy09]

I couldn’t help but notice that he said the Boxster and Cayman were the only mid engine cars in Porsche’s lineup but at the time this video was made the 918 Spyder was in production too. It may have been a near million dollar supercar but it was still part of their lineup at the time which made three models from Porsche that were mid engine and not just the Boxster and Cayman.

[@kennielsen3896]

I'm watching this video in 2023. I have a 2016 base Boxster with a PDK transmission (my previous Boxster was 5 speed manual) Bought this in 2018 with 9K miles on it. Due to covid, only has 23,000 miles. love this car. sometimes wish I had manual transmission, but still great car. Planning on a move to Spain in next 6 months, but not sure if I should get rid of it. Really won't need a car, but is it worth the price to ship? Las grimas!

[@Mannikomann]

1:43 Ouch!

[@superclaytonable]

I love the blue interior and top. I would spec my boxster exactly like that if I bought one.

[@Stratblooz]

This review says a world to me. In the old days reviews were focused on how the car drove but these days the non important crap like navigation etc. is the main focus....

[@dereklaverne7608]

The boxster has had the hidden away, pop-out cup holder since 05.

[@badbeatking80]

I have slide out cup holders on my 01 Boxster

[@textthing]

The format is focused on the in-cabin technology, hence Car Tech.

[@shiftintohigh5564]

How many times hav I thought about trying a boxster ???🤔🤔👍 Good looking car!👍👍👍

[@Theruben1223]

THANK YOU CNET FOR MAKING IT AVAILABLE AGAIN!!

[@AllThingsAviation]

cooley is one of the best reviwers out there. keep making great reviews cnet/cartech!

[@user-zg1lj9vc3r]

That is one nice car. I could do w/o all the voice control and touch pad stuff, would just love to own one and enjoy myself. Swear I'll get one someday but it probably won't happen so easily

[@neanderslob]

1:56, the dude behind the wheel apexes his turn into oncoming traffic on what appears not to be a closed course. Awesome.

[@still34u]

for no reason too. Goin' 30

[@1938dmkdz]

I just bought one, its GREAT

[@AbzAden]

I sure miss the 981 Cayman and boxster N/A Engine

[@LaoK8710]

Brian is the #1 Car reviewer in the world !

[@vetman544]

3:50 You know he's a car guy when he stares down every car that passes! lol

[@robertwalter8686]

I have the old one from 2006.I love it.

[@markhobies]

Me too.Love mine

[@craigmccann1028]

An 08 since 13. Respect !

[@gavinsloma]

1:42 why did this guy find it ok to smash the car on the road like that ...

[@TJC450]

Not theirs. Drive it like you stole it ☠️

[@TommyTheTuner]

Because a poor man can afford a 60,000 car.

[@BoxsterSGirl]

Me too...freakin' amazing!

[@branot89]

No, it's not. It looks waaaay better then ugly 911 convertible, and it's mid-engined so it has better handling

[@AmosVamos1]

Beautiful :)

[@BlackBeanChicken]

No USB in my base 2015 Boxster. Must have the PCM system on this one?

[@jawadalishe]

boxster is like a mini version of Ferrari in Red colour but then off-course its all about the speed.

[@quinne4883]

3:58 Other cars have too much power on tap? It might be just me, but I kind of like knowing that I can push my car a little further and faster with extra power.

[@1PITIFULDUDE]

2013 Boxster is far superior to a 993 in handling and the S model will leave a na993 in its dust. You will have to fire up the 993TT to put the Boxster S in its place at the dragstrip but the Boxster will eat a stock suspended 993TT alive on a short, tight track. Any Porsche is a great car.

[@svennouwen8991]

Why is this the only video that i can watch in belgium

[@egushlak]

With this guy's mustache, ANY car is manly.

[@RabbitRacing09]

honda should do a exotic car so they are motivated to make sporty cars

[@craigmccann1028]

Snobs will see the Boxster as a low budget entry level wannabee sportscar. Two seater ragtop owners will see the Boxster as dream driving fun come true.

[@therealmichaelw]

the manual only stop starts in neutral

[@Regular_Jo]

Came for the Porsche stayed for the cup holders...

[@JADERicet]

in the Ph, having a bmw or a mbenz is a rich person, but having this kind of car is like your the king of the road. hehe.

[@withbeck255]

1:43 LOL!

[@gauthamgooner]

He would choose the infotainment system over the sport chrono package. That says a lot doesnt it!

[@Kobei]

6:15. Thats Not Brian Cooley!!!

[@RealtimeReviews613]

Great review! This car kinda bored me though lol

[@chris-8597]

They need to get gymkhana reviewing the cars

[@Dancingqueen2700]

can porsche make a boxster 4s

[@jnozetz]

5:27 , looks like the wheels aren't moving ._.

[@nick7.398]

Does it have to have a convertible? Or coupe

[@artvandelayimports]

The boxster is the convertible, the Cayman is the coupe version of this

[@nick7.398]

RandomVideos how much r caymans tho

[@whatever04811]

You obviously dont know anything about cars by making this statement! Brian isnt a car reviewer, he is a car tech reviewer hence the name. The best car reviewer is Chris Harris.

[@BirdiesGoCherp]

This car has import taxes over here that doubles its price .... This costs the same as a BMW 320i over here if we use its normal price ($55k)

[@kevper96]

where do you live lad?

[@BirdiesGoCherp]

Egypt.

[@aaronbaker478]

this or the corvette c7 convertible? theyre roughly equivalent in price

[@Lucky8s]

+Aaron Baker If you don't have a huge ego, then you can't beat the Corvette.

[@mcesarey]

+Aaron Baker I don't think they're comparable. I plan to get a Boxster because I love Porsche styling and want a high quality interior. The Corvette is MUCH faster but after driving a high-powered Mustang for the past 4 years, I've learned that 0-60 times only matter when arguing on the internet.

[@MrTravisshort]

I've had a dozen corvettes. Not even close to a Porsche in terms of fit and finish or quality. Never another Vette.

[@poco1174]

I had a 2001 C5 at the same time I had a 1986 944. Vette was obviously faster-in a straight line. My 944 hugged every curve like a baby monkey grips it’s mother. Not one, not one rattle at 16 years old. My vette rattled and shook at 2. Other than dash-which admittedly was inexcusable, fit and finish was far superior in the 944. No question I loved the HUD. But two Vettes and 6 Porsches, no doubt about which I loved and which I tolerated.

[@greiby1000]

Cuanto cuesta me quiero comprar uno ya tengo 70.000$ reunidos

[@ishmamnaveel2198]

2022 here

[@emantabrizi]

Can't think for yourself...just gotta repeat what daddy tells ya, huh?

[@infamouseli92]

no back up camera 🤦🏾‍♂

[@scousebrows7524]

Is this boxter or boxter s?

[@lavalthibodeau3562]

It's a Boxster and not a Boxster S

[@shadagascavich]

Porsche needs to be a bit more daring with straying from the core design I think!

[@Stratblooz]

Reading ? Are we talking about lip reading ? :)

[@farrenvilla7225]

3.22 panamera gearbox

[@svennouwen8991]

From cnet

[@aqwesd8]

Strawberry fields forever

[@doubletapproductions]

yea they not that great looking, but it looks better and is faster!

[@DjSoDNBoy]

in my opinion its gotta be jeremy clarkson, not saying brian isnt awesome, but jeremy just has so much witt

[@RaysElectronics6]

Hello

[@lawpilot8526]

11/23/2019 Dear CNET, read my lips, START EVERY VIDEO BY STATING THE DATE. Example: Today is 11/23/2019. Do not forget to include the year.

[@DrakorGaet]

Now look at that. Talks big but can`t afford his own Porsche and has to ask his Papa about cars... What a child -_- Once you get your licence go and drive a Boxster. It`s a great car and very well made. Judging something by it`s price is stupid. Before you start complaining, yes I own a Porsche myself, bought with my own money.

[@Bischlarbo69]

"best bargain in the porsche world." Hardly. I may be being a stickler, but you cant say that. 993 is fantastic bang for buck, widely regarded as one of the best porsche platforms, and most of them have performance on par with or better than the 13' Coxter.

[@textthing]

No, not really.

[@GarySKLee]

who the f wants a cayman?? for sure u can't afford a 911...the cayman has no backseats, no sunroof and the engine is hidden somewhere u can't see.

[@gc9488]

buy a base porsche macan s and no options. best porsche for 50 grand

[@rgzesdbjkhger]

....And also the least equipped?

[@dereklaverne7608]

I own a macan and its not nearly as fun as my boxster. It feels like a cayennes little brother. That's it.

[@zanekaminski]

+George C Macan is heavy as hell. GLA has better handling, which is a damn shame. Since when was a Mercedes better sorted than a Porsche?

[@vetman544]

sadly I do it too ;)

[@textthing]

Basic reading comprehension isn't your forte, then?

[@Stratblooz]

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh :)

[@maxxweber4336]

Buy the S.

[@willfrazier8485]

Do you have the S?

[@doubletapproductions]

i dont understand why you would want a boxter unless you like convertibles! the cayman is only a couple g's more!

[@quanah]

enough with that music already

[@iwearleatherjackets1]

That interior color is hideous.

[@nikhilkash92]

All Porsche cars are almost similar it seems!! Pretty boring!!

[@muizawan]

lol my dad is getting the new 911 c4s

[@maxt5034]

I had a 911. Sold it😃.... Bought a boxster.... handles much better

[@rg0r]

yes but the cayman also looks like shit

[@Powderhorn916]

buy a used boxster for >10k

[@iwearleatherjackets1]

+Powderhorn916 Have fun fixing whatever will be wrong with it.

[@maxxweber4336]

Nothing more expensive than a cheap Porsche.

[@emantabrizi]

The interior design looks nothing like the Carrera GT. Fuck, I wish people would stop posting ignorant shit on KZbin.

[@SIDMANGT]

its a poor mans 911

[@iskadobadsf]

or rather mazda...

[@aklinyolu]

worst car review ever

[@romanozweiacher8646]

Idiotenwerbung ;-)

[@liljay300000]

You buy a boxter because you can't afford a 911

[@markhobies]

That's the dumbest statement. You obviously have no clue. :P

[@liljay300000]

***** Its the truth nobody with the money to buy a 911 winds up buying a boxster. It's the truth deal with it.

[@markhobies]

Yawn, you bore me, next.

[@liljay300000]

Satoru Iwata actually I have a 911 so yeah.

[@liljay300000]

Why am I going on youtube because I happen to like going on youtube. I also like to comment on videos. I also made this comment because its true. Nobody who can buy a 911 buys a boxer it's just a fact. Also why are you so offended by this statement.
