Explore the 2008 Porsche Boxster

Time of your life owning the Boxster.

I have owned 2 Boxters. First one was a 2001 S series. Currently own a 2008 Base model. These cars are just fantastic to drive. Both were Triptonic. The exterior update on the 2008 is perfect. Only 47,000 miles on it. Bought the car with 34,000 miles on the odometer. Near mint condition. One tip for new owners is to change oil and filter every 5,000miles. I have a great mechanic who specializes Porsches and Land Rovers, I have both. Saves me me big $$$ over dealerships cost costs on repair. Follow the maintenance ‘schedule and you will have a blast. My wife and I love driving through New England with the top down. God I love the car….

Dry clean car with extremely low mileage

Being used as weekend fun car. Best condition I have ever seen for age of car. The exterior and interior car showed ver little wear. We plan on keeping car for long time, trying to keep mileage low.

Perfect sports car for all

I currently own this car and everytime I walk inside my garage it brings a smile to my face. It is a 5 speed manual and grips to the road effortlessly. This is the perfect car for its price, mainly because it?s quick, good looking, and is a blast to drive. Because it?s a boxster, it is a convertible, and that is a great luxury during the summer that makes this car so much fun to throw around and have some fun with.

Best daily driver sports car you can buy.

Handling is excellent. The Tiptronic shift means no clutch and fast shifting for best torque. More fun than a go cart yet it gets great gas mileage and is more comfortable than a Lexus.

Fun car when not in shop

I think this car has all the right aspects of a fun sports car/date night car. However, there is always something going wrong with the car, which becomes a money pit of pain and inconvenience driving a rental car not on the Porsche's level.

Most fun car I Ever Owned

Plenty of power. Excellent handling. A little hard to get in and out of. Plan on garaging in the winter if you want it to continue to look good. A little expensive to get repaired. So recommended that you learn to do simple repairs yourself.
