The 2014 Porsche Boxster: Why Power Isn't Everything

There's a preconceived notion that power outweighs most aspects of a car in terms of its performance output as well as its "fun" factor. The 2014 Porsche Boxster certainly battles the "power is everything" dogma, proving it can be just as fun as something with twice the power at hand. See for yourself!

True that! For me the 981 has also a much better sound than a 911 base model. This car simply is an antidepressant and gives you an instant smile on your face when you turn it on!

2014 Cayman. I make zero excuses for this car. This generation of 981s are truly magnificent machines. Nice video. Thank you.

I have a 2014 boxter s awesome car love it. Plenty fast , had it for 5 + years. Best sports car ever.

I test drove a Boxster and 911 at the dealer and bought the Boxster (6 cyl.). I have been to two Porsche track days, swapping between a 718S/911S and the performance difference wasn’t at large as you would expect. The 718 felt confident in the corners and easier to drive fast, most of the 911 owners felt the same way. Let’s face, for a lot of drivers, the 911 is the dream car, Porsche knows it and charges for it.

The Boxster is an honest car. It doesn’t pretend to be something it is not. It is true to Porsche’s roots. The first Porsche was midengined and early cars like the 550 relied on lightweight rather than a big engine. Buy and enjoy the open air. Don’t worry about what others might think.

Just got 2014 981 Boxster Base PDK at $35K, with no major option packages but just Sport Chrono at 60K miles. Single square exhaust tip and halogen lights look horrible, but I'm extremely happy with my very first 2 seater mid engine convertible sport car and enjoying driving after work every day with top open to feel direct sun light, wind, speed, and flat 6 sounds roar behind me. Thanks!

My Step father tells people he bought 90 percent of a 911 for 50 percent of the money. He loves his Boxster more than his own kids 😅😅

Perfect review. Just the right amount of information and personal touch. Thanks!

[@renatoalongi7076]

Just got my 981.

[@frederikebert1985]

I owned a 2015 base Cayman with optional sports suspension. Wonderful car. I am now in a 2016 Cayman GTS and it is def no more fun than the base Cayman. Go base and safe $$$!!!

Liked and subbed. I hope your channel takes off because you have a nice honest way about yourself that is refreshing. You summed up all my thoughts on the Boxster range having owned several. They excel at everything and are all about the top down driving experience. Performance to spare and looks that kill. The perfect car.

I have a '13 981 Base w/ 6sp and as far as I'm concerned the 981 was the sweet spot in the Boxster lineup.

[@PC-er4ey]

Just bought this car used in hk, around 38k usd with 20k mileage. Great car, the handling is superb :)

[@SERGE_Tech]

ARE YOU FOR REAL ONLY 59 SUBS!! DUDE YOUR REVIEW IS LEGIT, SUBED!

[@Aiken47]

Take them through the twisties, that’s what they’re designed for.

[@jdwxflyer]

Don’t forget, if you’re in the ‘used’ market, that 718 4 cyl is ALOT more money than the 981. Something to consider!

[@jonathanl2748]

I really like your your bi color seats. I hardly ever see that in a Boxster. Great video as I’m looking for a 981 Boxster S for a daily driver.

[@TheWasp550]

Best car in the world!!! I would never change my car to anyting else 😄💛

[@flopiano2000]

That’s exactly the same interior/exterior combination as mine. So nice!

[@tonykono5225]

It’s funny how people justify getting an inferior product because of personal preferences, then attempt to convince everyone else that speed doesn’t matter in a sports car.
