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?

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!

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.

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.

+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.

@poco1174 Жыл бұрын
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.
