2011 Porsche Boxster User Reviews

Pros

Handles like a dream. Great performance for only 3.2 Liters. The Porsche 6-speed manual is slick.

Cons

Very expensive to maintain. .

Purchased As Used

This is a great car for the Bucket List, but is not a younger man's playtoy. It runs like a scared jackrabbit and is second to none in handling. Very comfortable at any speed. Nothing overall drives like a Porsche. It is a romance all its own.

Pros

Fun to drive on twisty roads. Very solid feel.

Cons

Cargo space limited for large objects. (Like a golf bag)

Purchased As New

I bought my 2010 after the 2011s had hit the showrooms so I got a fairly loaded car for just above base price. (Ignore the listed base prices, options can be very expensive. No dealer seems to stock strippers by the way.)

It's quite comfortable for a true sports car, my wife doesn't complain whereas she acted like my C5 Vette and my MX5 were torture devices. She says it's slightly better than the Audi TT I traded for the Boxster.

I like the Boxster's shape better than a 911 convertibles with the lid down. (They appear to have a fat butt)

I wouldn't mind a little more power but the premium for the S seems a bit high.

Oh, and the warranty is 4 years, not 1....read morehide

Very fun car to drive. Had mine up to 147mph. Only had 12000miles on it, it was a 2006 red. Went to sell it, resale value is worse than a ford focus. Beware when you buy a Porsche or other sports car if they keep their value. the warranty only lasted a year, come on wtf. I wouldn't buy another one, i would stick to American Muscle....read morehide
