Get behind the wheel of a Boxster on a twisty B-road and you will experience something special. Offering more than a taste of what makes its supercar 911 big brother so desirable, the roadster is a joy to drive. According to you, it is the best handling car in the UK. Needless to say, it's also one of the most expensive to run, with a thirst for fuel matched by its costly servicing. Practicality is another major drawback. With a new Boxster now a common sight, expect it to fare well next year.
Handling
Few firms can make a car handle quite like Porsche. The Boxster’s mid-engined layout gives perfect weight balance and cornering ability to put many more costly rivals to shame. Try a track day to explore the limits of its abilities and marvel at the steering feedback and chassis’ ability to cope with exceptionally high cornering speeds. A new Boxster is now well established and is expected to chart next year, but will it match your review of its predecessor’s handling?
Your Quotes
“The Boxster S is superb. It offers comfortable motoring in city centres and heavy traffic, but is also a thrilling drive on the open road. This car is a total joy!”
Mr David Hurley - Conwy“Best car I've ever owned. Only problem was a discharged battery, caused by alarm going off unchecked for a weekend while I was away!”
Mr Paul Cox - Reading“The most exhilarating and surefooted drive I've experienced.”
Mr Tim Greenwood - West Yorkshire“Fantastic car. Great handling, steering, brakes, performance and build quality. Reasonable running costs for the engine capacity.”
Mr Craig McKinlay - Scotland“Excellent and good fun to drive.”
Mr Neil Warwick - Newcastle“I have really enjoyed my Boxster and plan to keep it for some time yet. It is a joy to drive and very practical with good luggage capacity for a couple on holiday. It is now serviced by a local specialist garage who are very good and reasonable in price. They use genuine Porsche parts. My only crib is that rear tyres only last around 6-7000 miles.”
