2001 Porsche 986 Boxster S | Don't Hate It Until You Drive It
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- The Porsche 986 Boxster S is a very interesting car for the brand. It turned out to be an unexpected hit for the famous auto manufacturer and pulled the company from the verge of bankruptcy. Fast forward nearly 20 years later, how does this little two door, mid engined roadster drive? I'm pleased to say it's way more entertaining than you would probably expect, and given its laughably cheap price tag, this is a ton of car for the money! This example I reviewed today is featured in the signature white exterior over a navy blue interior with a navy blue soft top, and it only has 30,000 miles! Please leave a thumbs up and subscribe to this channel for more awesome content!

Great review and an excellent presentation. I have a 2003 986 S and it's just ridiculously able ..... if you are considering don't hesitate ....
This video is great! Finally this is the stuff I’ve been waiting for can’t wait for you to pump more of these out! I absolutely love Porsche I hope I see more of these. This is definitely a car I would drive as well. Good video and choice my g keep puttin them bangers out, you always killin it.
Thanks so much brotha! Will do man, more videos to come 🤙🏼
Gorgeous Porsche, even in plain white :) That exhaust sound, even stock, just amazing.
Thank you! Yes i agree the spec is wonderful on it
Dammmmmn 2001 and 30k miles and NAVY BLUE INTERIOR!!! Damn this spec got me droolin
Me too man i love it!!
Great review! Love the Boxster actually my buddy had one and it was pretty fun to drive
It’s an awesome car! Can’t go wrong with it
straight likes on the video. Well done bro! Lowkey looking at a 2.5 5mt Boxster. For $5k it’s not too shabby lol
I was enjoying this video and your analysis up unto the point when you said it's an an"automatic"......
Big pause like what!? Having a 2002, 3.2 liter 986 Boxster S myself I always find it interesting to hear other people's opinions when trying out the car.
That said.... the car being tested/experienced should always be a "manual", preferably an S imo...
The 986 S with a six speed is pure gold when it comes to true sports car driving; the platform remains at the very top for sports cars, decades after its launch...😁
Now that you’re featuring other platforms your channel is going to blow up like crazy. 👍
I appreciate you my guy, hopefully that’s the case this video didnt do too hot 🤣
Loving the variety content man, keep it up.
Thank you brotha, will do!
Always loved this car so I’m glad you you made this video 🔥
glad to hear that! thank you for watching!!
Did this guy seriously say those rims look better than turbo twists?
Picking up a manual 2001 986s next week, nice to hear I have made a good decision.
Hi there, most interesting I have a 6 speed manual 986s but with a twist we did a full tear down restoration and upgrade regardless of cost nearly everything was replaced or upgraded from 996, 997 and gt3 even blueprinted engine to 4.0ltr 420bhp and capristo full sport valvetronic exhaust system its rather very fast the ideal sleeper Jon UK.
I own an 01 Boxster S in Silver and black interior. 6 speed is the way to go.
I’ve owned it for 12 years and it’s just the most fun in a roadster I’ve ever had.
I want to buy another 986 S with high miles. With this one, I want to drop an Ls engine into it.
Can u say “hot rod sleeper Boxster”.
I have the 2.7 5 speed, it’s a fun slow car you can drive fast, cool content man, our channels have a similar vibe 🤙🏽
Appreciate the comment, thank you!
Nice presentation! I have an ‘01 S model in guards red, currently on ice for the brutal NY winter. The video has me yearning to get back in the saddle again, but I’ll have to wait until May/June timeframe. Please do more content on Porsche.
thanks man! Yea im sure thats a tough wait for summer! im trying to get more porsches on the channel, i also reviewed a 991 GT3 and a 987 Cayman S if youre interested in some additional content!
@@SimplyCarThings thank you, I will check out those other videos. It must be a blast getting to sample all these epic rides! I went to check out a 2013 Panamera GTS yesterday, but they had it in the show room so I didn’t get to drive it yet. Thanks again
how quick do we need?
Question for you bro. I have a C6 Z06 and boy is it fast and handles well, but it doesn’t have that fun feel of my older mini Cooper I used to own. The mini you could throw it around turns easier without dying lol. Is the Porsche boxter more similar to the mini in terms of handling? I’ve debated getting another mini but am looking at these too. I know I’m comparing a front wheel drive car to a totally different setup. Just curious if the boxter has that fun factor I missed about the mini. Thanks!
I’m not sure how well these respond to tuning and bolt ons but I’m sure a little more pep will get it going to satisfaction perhaps. Especially to counter the power robbing of the Auto
Nice ride! Had an 01 S!
Nice man! They’re sweet little cars
You should feature the E85 Z4m, if you ever get a chance to. It is a hidden gem just like this 986.
Kamikaze e30 I would really like to! If i can get my hands on one i’ll do it
Great video. I just did a walk around of my new one.
Looking for one to put next to the 991 right now... want white with red interior and of course a manual
Would be a fantastic little addition to a 991! Good luck with your search
The most under rated car of all time!!!
It's only underated by ignorant people
@@simonodell2103 truth !
914? Hope history repeats itself
I wonder how maintenance is
For a fun weekend car would you get this Porsche or a bmw 330ci ? Both Manual convertibles. Thanks
I had an e46 zhp convertible years ago and now I have a 986 boxster S. The bmw does not even remotely compare to the Porsche. My old bmw was great but it was so much heavier and had so much more chassis flex. The Porsche is……. Well it’s a Porsche.
I don't get the front and back issue. They both have great lines. Smooth, round, but tasteful. Haters are just annoying.
Without a doubt a good looking car but when I search why do I see so many issues with the IMs bearing is this a curse once it's corrected is it okay....
Too late I picked up a 335bmw... Twin Turbo.... Bad out of hell.. Quicker than my Pantera of the line.. The boxer is a. Goon looking car
.
8:11 And yet the old Tiptronic is able to shift faster than the 99% of drivers
I agree these wheels are much better
the only advice i can give u children is
if your ever lucky enough to get your hands on one of these
from 1999 to 2004 grab it!! snatch it! buy it!!
its a great super car and never sell it ..never
u will always get more than what u paid for it!
i bought my 2000 boxster 2.7 new in 1999
its 2021 now and i still have it!!!
oh sure.. i have a electric car
a benz 4matic for the winter driving
but my boxster aint goin any where!!!
people do alot of stupid things
and selling this car is one of them!
and the regret of selling it will haunt you!
oh by the way! u want the manual stick shift
wayyy better ride than any BMW
More Porsche content !!!
More Porsche content coming!
Simply Car Things yesss!
The tips are awful transmissions. Try the S with a 6 speed. it is a wholly different car. I have an '03 Boxster S and it is wonderful to drive. It is a completely underrated car and IMO has aged very well.
Auto for cruising...manual for bruising....I have both .....ahhh manual is more fun hehe
totally agree, manual all day with these cars 👍🏼
Close to a 50/50 body weight ratio.
You do need to drive the manual tho. Auto just isn't that real driver experience these were made for.
Seriously the automatic is awful on these cars. Def want to drive one with the manual
The biggest mistake with the auto is it starts off in second gear in drive.why on gods earth would you do that.at least have an option like other cars they have a summer/winter button.i know many people who didnt buy the just for that reason me included
All Porsches are galvanized. So they don't RUST.
I have SMASHED my 986s for the last 5 yrs, without any issues.
They take 100,000 miles to break the ENGINES in -That's a Fact.
They are extremely easy to replace parts for. And you can do all the work yourself.
IT'S A NO BRAINER.....Top down. Windows down. just go.
Love to hear it, that's what these cars are all about lots of fun driving
Cool but before recommending such car be sure to mention thats it will cost you a lot to own. Just because its cheap to buy doesn't mean its cheap car or cheap to own. There's no such thing as cheap Porsche is what im getting at :)
Haters are jealous
I owned one and it’s a blast to drive! The biggest issue with the 986 and 996 is the IMS bearing failure and is the biggest reason why the value has hit rock bottom. Super fun car though!
Totally! If you can get around the IMS it’s an otherwise awesome machine to ride around in!
1500miles per year... what a shame.
awful tiptronic /sarcasm, love my 97 tiptronic, keeps me from too many tickets and ... 2nd and 3rd sound wicked
Hated for no good reason except for the fact that it’s hideous 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
QueensVillage Press newer models look amazing. I’m solely talking about the 986. You can throw anything in that car but that body shape still isn’t changing
@@Thewinnerscircle_ wait a while an you wish ya had of bought one classic styling yet ahead of its time
@@adamsangels9874 they’re the only Porsche chassis in the 6-12k range... not looking good for you
@@Thewinnerscircle_ If you hate the Boxster 986 styling, you must loathe Porsche’s 550 Spyder.
So sick of automatic Boxsters. The car is missing something...
