2002 Porsche Boxster Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Porsche Boxster:

From a practical standpoint, the Boxster is eminently livable. The top can be raised or lowered at a moment's notice, making top-down motoring an easy decision.

-- New Car Test Drive

Even base models easily nudge $50,000 when popularly equipped, but this is still the most affordable way to live the 'Porsche experience'.

-- Consumer Guide

Entertaining and athletic, as expected of Porsches, with grippy stability, little body lean.

-- Consumer Guide

A mid engine design and classic Porsche styling, not to mention sublime steering and brakes, give the Boxster a unique combination of traits that few cars can match at this price point.

-- Edmunds.com

All that stuff about a flat-6's low center of gravity and a mid-engine car's low polar moment of inertia isn't just marketing fluff; this thing changes direction like a cat on Velcro.
