Good Points: Style/performance/quality interior/Porsche dealer - all are very positive so far.
Bad Points: Running costs - this is an initial impression when considering the cost of the warranty.
General comments: So far the Porsche Boxster has met all my expectations. Being a complete bike buff - I decided that I needed to start considering safety over 2 wheels. I therefore needed a car that went beyond a bike. Apart from not being able to filter through traffic this car is superb. The bike is currently up for sale - that has to be a very positive report!

I have driven quick cars for years but the Porsche Boxster 3.2 S is something else. I test drove a couple of 2.5 Boxsters before I bought the 3.2. The difference is like chalk and cheese. The acceleration is spine tingling. The handling is frightening in a nice way. Learn to trust it and almost nothing can go round corners like this. My wife and I invent places to go at the weekend just to drive the car on twisty A roads. Large grins from start to finish. As a bonus the sound this car makes is l ...

This is a fantastic car. It oozes quality, and it is a pleasure to own and drive. The drive is immensely satisfying, and the sound from that engine is addictive. The thrill of acceleration is similar only to a very large motorcycle, but with much more comfort (unless of course you can afford super cars). The feedback from the steering is faultless, as is the overall handling of the Porsche Boxter S. You never feel you have reached the cars limitations. I have had many cars, most of which being ...

I'd hoped that this Porsche Boxster 3.2 S would be the best car I'd ever owned, and in many ways it is. But the ownership experience has been severly undermined, problems with suspension linkages, which seem to be made of industrial grade chocolate. Bits coming loose, water leaking in through the door, oil leaking out, ball joints, coil packs etc etc.
But when it's all working, and the weather's fine, and the roof's down, somehow it nearly all makes sense.
However, I can't see me buying anoth ...

Believe the hype, this Porsche Boxster 3.2 S sports car is fabulous. Put away your Porsche prejudices and just enjoy the experience of the finest 2 seater this side of a 360 Modena. Use it every day, drop the roof when the winter sun shines and feel the glow of running the best roadster that sensible money can buy.
I ran one for 40 months and 40,000 miles of year round driving in the UK. I was going to get the hard top but decided after one winter that it wasn't necessary. Only in the wettest m ...

After lusting after a Porsche for long enough to save up and buy one, the reality certainly lives up to the expectation. I love this car and I can see why they have stayed top of their game for so long. The car seems to have a split personality which makes it easy to live with as it adapts to various challenges of day to day life. The performance and handling allow you to thunder about the place at alarming speeds without ever seeming to approach the limits of cars ability. However, it will also ...

I recently bought a Porsche Boxster 3.2 S speed. This car is everything they say it is. Unbelieveable torque off the line that just keeps increasing. It's like taking off the deck of an aircraft carrier. The handling is so sensitive that you almost become one with car. Strongly recommend buying one - you only live once.

I bought the Porsche Boxster 3.2 S 2 weeks ago. It's all the fun of the fair. Press the fast pedal and it goes stupidly fast. Press the stop pedal and it stops, but you have to press hard, so make sure your quads are up to it.
Steering is as sharp as a sharp thing with extra sharp bits added for extra sharpness. Unlike the Lotus Elise I drove while choosing which got horrbly twitchy over 69 mph
Gear change can be a bit lumpy but not obstructive. Apparently the gearbox is right at the rear ...

I have owned the car from new since Jul 02 and it's been fantastic. It is always a pleasure to drive with terrific handling and peformance. There has been nothing go wrong at all - the only thing I asked to be attended to in addition to its first service was a slight rattle from the roof which was sorted with no charge. One slightly bizarre comment I would make is probably more a criticism of me as opposed to the car - I find it slightly uninvolving. For a car with the performance that it ha ...
