What does it cost?
For The Porsche Boxster is beautiful to look at, suitably epic to drive, and makes a good ownership proposition
Against It’s expensive to buy, and could do with a bit more standard kit
What Car? says
The Porsche Boxster makes you feel like a hero when you’re at speed, and makes you feel cool when you’re just bumbling about. It’s utterly sensational, and it’s our Sports Car of the Year 2013.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The optional PDK semi-automatic gearbox is well worth consideration, because not only does it make you feel like a racing driver when you’re going for it, but it also greatly increases the Porsche Boxster’s efficiency. It cuts the standard car’s emissions from 192g/km to 180, which drops it down a couple of company car tax bands. Fuel economy jumps from 34.5mpg to 36.7. The difference is even more marked in the Boxster S: it’s emissions drop from 206g/km to 188, and economy goes up from 32.1mpg to 35.3.
Whichever version of the Boxster you go for, you'll get a truly sensational car. However, we'd stick with the standard 2.7 model. It's cheaper to buy and run than the S, and although it's slower, it's still very, very fast.

Porsche Boxster Open Open (2012 pre-prod model) 2dr
A massive improvement on the last Boxtster (which is still fantastic and I said I would never sell mine). Close your eyes, put your foot down and you…
