2009 Porsche Boxster Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Porsche Boxster:

...the revised intake and exhaust manifolds enhance the throttle response, and the bigger-diameter dual exhaust adds the perfect soundtrack. In short, this new engine provides sports car nirvana and is reason enough alone to drive with the roof down.

-- CAR

God's own steering response, glorious engine note, excellent transmission.

-- Car and Driver

What reviewers liked least about the Porsche Boxster:

...it's still a bit cluttered, cramped, there's insufficient steering wheel adjustment and the hood could be a bit less fiddly.

-- CAR

Infuriating steering-wheel shift buttons, track-stiff ride, ridiculous option pricing.

-- Car and Driver

Best one-liner about the Porsche Boxster:

Hardcore roadster's don't come any more enjoyable than this.

-- CAR

So inherently good that we're willing to justify paying through the nose for one.
