Absolutely. The jealousy is real. You feel like you are in an absolute blast whilst driving it and grin on face factor is still there after a year. It's a hoot. James May was right it has that it factor.
I have one and it's a great drivers car. And when the top is down the sound is terrific. People can hate on it all they want. They likely do not own one or at least haven't driven it. Sure kids can out run me with a big engine but only until the first curve.
Yeah, straight line speed loses its novelty far more quickly than driving a boxster on a curvy back road on a beautiful day. Could use a bit more power though. Dat Boxster Spyder is the current dream car
I had a Porsche test driver take me on the factory test track in Stuttgart, back in 2004. The Boxster S delivered and Incredible experience. He was driving that thing sideways with one finger; my life passed before my eyes. That car can be seriously driven hard.
As someone who owns both a 996 and 986.. The boxster is hands down the better deal. Easier to work on, equivalent looks, better storage, and handles better. The 911 is way faster though.
Since NFS Most Wanted I have always loved Porsche especially the Caymans and Boxters, they just look so well and fun to have. Added bonus - Porsche lets you build your own models around the base version. It can get a bit expensive quite fast (+15k in addons easily) but its quite worth it, imo.
I’ve been at two Porsche track days, with Boxster/Caymans and 911s. It’s fun to watch the 911 owners get out of Boxster/Caymans with positive comments and big smiles. It’s an easy car to drive fast with confidence.
They say that about the price, but the 718 is more $ than the Porsche SUVs, same price as the Panamera too. 718 is the one you buy if you can’t get the 911
The Cayman & Boxster variants in any iteration is quite possibly the best drivers cars on the planet & fortunately for many very affordable comparatively.
Your first review convinced me - got offered a pristine S example with the new bearings and the wife loves it - which in itself is a win that cannot be paid for with mere dollars. But even in auto guise it’s a bloody fun thing on a sunny autumn day just around town - more engaging than you’d expect
Have a 992 and 982 , let me tell everyone 982 is a not a poor's man porsche. Its 5 times better and fun than driving a 992. 992 drives like a mercedes. 982 drives better than a 488. I owned 3 of them. Not from test drive experience
As a 16 year old who dad said I’ll never do anything with my life and kicked me and my mom and siblings out, I’ve seen prices of this used and oh boy this is a straight deal for me I’ve found one for £4500 But gotta wait till I get a license Also it’s a porches and if someone says something bad about just respond with what kinda Porsche do u have
That’s a good line, but everyone loves my 981 Spyder and I get a lot more compliments than you can shake a stick at. You will own a Porsche some day, I’m 73.
Keep hustling and aspiring to make more money and a better life for yourself. Think positive and stay around positive happy and successful people. You are who you hang around with. Oh.... And while you're young, invest in s&p500. I'm 47 now but wish I started at your age. I'd be a multi millionaire just by doing that. Keep smiling and stay strong my friend.
At the Boxster price point there is little or no alternative. Build quality, sound, superb handling, practical, wind in the hair, a hoot to drive and minimal depreciation if you buy right……and it’s a Porsche!
Was it the 3.2 (the one you'd think you'd want) suffered ovalation of the bores, nikasil liner issue was it, would make for a very expensive repair on a used buy. Someone correct me if I have got that wrong
Every time he says you can get something a lot faster for the same money, know that he's talking about a hunk of shite that will break down if you actually make it go faster than the Porsche in question.
Not quite. Given no Boxster owner will find themselves anywhere other than public roads, speed is irrelevant. As is the case for almost all performance cars
Sure you do, it’s a front mid engine car called MX-5ND2 and it’s way better than these 20 year old Boxsters with maintenance costing more than the cars worth.
I have a Boxter and I could care less about the image it portrays to Porsche enthusiasts. I’m driving the damn car and I enjoy every second behind the wheel.
3 things good about a Porsche
1. It's a Porsche
2. It's a Porsche
3. It's a Porsche
Yeap.......
You missed one more thing:
It's a Porsche.
Very creative 😒
You forgot the main thing thou
"It's a Porsche" 😏
@@Ali-yj6pl he also forgot "the Porsche too
Snatched the 123 Like! 😂
#3 bad thing I couldn't care less about what entitled snobs think.
A true Porsche guy will never crap on another Porsche guy.
The third bad thing is actually a good one, since people may bad mouth you while you are the one driving a Porsche haha
Greatest response to that dumbass statement- so what Porsche do you own?
Yup, they’re just jealous
Absolutely. The jealousy is real. You feel like you are in an absolute blast whilst driving it and grin on face factor is still there after a year. It's a hoot. James May was right it has that it factor.
I am planning to buy soon, sure I am going to lose few friends and relatives due to jealousy:)
@@satpakI’ve lost more friends than made friends, jealousy. Not real friends anyways.
They say money can't buy happiness.
But Porsche=happiness
You can buy a Porsche with money so...

Facts, I never used to care for boxsters much and now I have 3. Whoops😂
@@poormansporsche744987 Boxster S for 18 years, now 981 Spyder
Hahahaha.....
These are fantastic cars and on my third.
Can you mod it to make it faster I mean is it fast?
Yeah, straight line speed loses its novelty far more quickly than driving a boxster on a curvy back road on a beautiful day. Could use a bit more power though. Dat Boxster Spyder is the current dream car
Man, the air Jordans, great car and nice shoes.
Absolutely love my 2.7 987
The people who crap on Porsches are the same people who drive their moms minivan
I once got sarcastic 'abuse' shouted at me whilst driving my Boxster S years ago - dude was shouting at me from a bus stop whilst waiting for a bus 😂
Hilarious @@martynclarke5167

Great story
On my second boxster now. Drive one and you'll realize it's slept on.
so real, i dont care about how fast it goes, i just want to enjoy the rides

People who say a Boxster is a poor man’s Porsche usually drive a Ford Fiesta
i have one and i have to say of all the porsches and sports cars i have the boxster is one of most fun to take a sunday drive in
Always finish on a high! It’s a Porsche 😊
Awesome fun to drive , even the 986 base model is an extremely fun car. Helps if you can do some of your own maintenance, but.
I’ve been at two Porsche track days, with Boxster/Caymans and 911s. It’s fun to watch the 911 owners get out of Boxster/Caymans with positive comments and big smiles. It’s an easy car to drive fast with confidence.
Funny how all the people telling you that you bought a Boxster because you can't afford a 911, are the ones driving shit hatchbacks.
They say that about the price, but the 718 is more $ than the Porsche SUVs, same price as the Panamera too. 718 is the one you buy if you can’t get the 911

I actually love the way this guy reviews cars
i love this car 🤍🙂
Love the content, especially the mechanics reviews. What’s your favourite car!

I would like to know the other faster options in the used market
At the Boxster price point there is little or no alternative. Build quality, sound, superb handling, practical, wind in the hair, a hoot to drive and minimal depreciation if you buy right……and it’s a Porsche!
Was it the 3.2 (the one you'd think you'd want) suffered ovalation of the bores, nikasil liner issue was it, would make for a very expensive repair on a used buy. Someone correct me if I have got that wrong
Question is the sport chrono with the money if I’m getting a manual? Does it add anything to hp
No, but in a manual shifting is quote more exiting
Good: Great Drive
Bad: Nowhere in Nanny Au to drive it
That is sad 😞
Is there a specific reason why you speak at speed of light?!
Every time he says you can get something a lot faster for the same money, know that he's talking about a hunk of shite that will break down if you actually make it go faster than the Porsche in question.
Not quite. Given no Boxster owner will find themselves anywhere other than public roads, speed is irrelevant. As is the case for almost all performance cars
It’s not like Porsche reliability is all that great. It’s not. You better have a lot of money to waste if you like driving old Boxsters.
Im going to get that.
Bruh I heard Porsches were more reliable than other sport-oriented brands 💀
Yo I have the same shoes
The Macan is the new affordable Porsche now
Saw one last night lol and also see a bit of Panermas. In rich affluent neighborhoods I see 911s and Mercedes G wagons
The only Porsches that aren't "the Porsche you buy because you can't afford a real/better Porsche" are the newest gen gt2, gt3, and gt4.
I mean, hp per kg? You really don't have any options for affordable usable lightweight mid engine cars.
Sure you do, it’s a front mid engine car called MX-5ND2 and it’s way better than these 20 year old Boxsters with maintenance costing more than the cars worth.
Some people who buy a boxster can afford a porsche. It's not a correct statement.
But its a porscheee
ou parla piano grazie
I mean technically he’s right, if you could buy a gt3 rs or a 918 you would probably forget about the boxster’s existence
Except the Boxster is a completely different car, both driving and performance wise.
I have a Boxter and I could care less about the image it portrays to Porsche enthusiasts. I’m driving the damn car and I enjoy every second behind the wheel.

Nice. Id have one in a blink of the eye.
Kinda hard to say its older than the universe when no one actually knows exactly how old the universe is.
Are these cars fast?
