The silver is hard to see against the road not that I’d let that discourage you. But what all the enthusiasts fail to mention is that the base motor is a 3.2 liter stroker that’s designed for e10+
@@clu4u I think its the same block/displacement as the 1982 911t just with more electronics. My S-went through a set of axle shafts @22000 miles? They said it was the tires? I liked it the best of my boxers though. Thanks.
Excellent review...thanks for addressing the important stuff to the driver...who cares what it does in the Quarter Mile..we don't drag race 'em anyway...go find a curvy road, drop the top and you'll forget that it only has 270 HP....
You just can't beat Micah's Videos. He has a way if making you actually feel what he is describing. What impresses me the most is the complete Colored key interior with a matching convertible top. I really would love to have this one! Of course Micah would have to teach me how to drive it to the fullest enjoyment.
Micah - everything about this video is great. Please keep these coming. As you said "what do you really need to know?" - you centered on the dynamics of the car and that is what a boxster/sports car buyer is going to center on. So many review get lost into the "what can you get for $ instead" argument and don't focus on the mid-engine dynamics which make this car so unique!
I wish every review were formulated like this, almost from a first person point of view. What do you feel when you get into the car? What does the car say TO you, instead of what it says ABOUT you. Well done, KBB!
You know the Challenger Srt8 is no faster than the Boxter S right? My money would be on the DSG Boxter S. Maybe when the SRT gets the 8 speed. Wile it has 155 more hp than the Boxter S it also weighs 1300 pounds more. The Hemi is also a top end power plant.
You can buy an 2012 (used) Gt for 26k 420 hp for 26k with a warranty that is as good as it gets for reliable hp. The GT handles just fine also. Next year when it gets the independent rear and goes on a 250 pound diet it should be even more of a hp steal.
this car has always been a girly machine, but the new one.. the new one just screams sex and just wants to be driven. that new 9/11 esk shape is beautiful
I am 6 ft 5 inch tall. I dont fit in the Miata. If I could I would own the fist gen car. The Boxter is wonderful I thought long and hard about purchasing a new one. Normal maintenance, insurance and practicality fell slightly short. I.E. I could not afford it. I am happy with the Subaru BRZ.
The BRZ is more fun on a day to day basis. It is far more efficient. The driving position and the outward view is better along with the excellent seats. It is lighter on its feet as it should be at 750 pounds less weight. I never race on the street. So I only need enough power to satisfy me. Wile I love Muscle cars I only drive lightweights. Celica, CRX Integra. For the 26k I spent I am not in love with the V6 Mustang. Drive the Manual Mustang GT it is a blast. Good steering feel and gearbox.
Stock engine is loads of fun(drove it recently), but only really in Europe. In the US, with bigger straight roads I can see it being "underpowered", but revving is hard down a twisting European road is alot of fun.
Lol! @ 1:49 I own that same car but in red and I live in Montana. Yes, it is a manual. Makes it theft proof. (sarcasm). I haven’t gotten a speeding ticket yet. Right now it’s -3 f and 20ft of snow. So I’ve been driving the Wrangler not the Porsche.
It is sad how this guy said the automatic is faster and better. The Manual gives you the best sport car driving feel. Manual is a Man's car, why do you get a sports car in automatic is beyond me.
1234567890what PDK is faster than manual gearbox. Manual [acceleration to 100 km] - 5,8 sec. PDK [acceleration to 100 km] - 5,5 sec (sport+). Also all PDK Porsche cars are faster than cars with manual gearboxes
1234567890what The PDK is a dual-clutch automated manual. This isn't your grandfather's automatic. Though I agree that a stick is more fun, the PDK is faster.
Yeah, I agree - stick is more fun) I meant to say that at the nearest time we'll see more automatic transmissiones that will be faster than than any manual gearbox
It's about connecting with the machine, feeling the road, all this technology is numbing our driving experience. I personally don't care about fast, I care about enjoying my driving experience to the max. That's what happens when you grow up watching magnum P.I. And knight Rider. Oh yea and Miami vice. Those cars were manual not sure about Kitt though.
buying a Porsche is on my list of goals that I want to accomplish
Porsche 911 Turbo same here..
Same
Porsche 911 Turbo so did u got one?
You have set the bar low.
you can now cop it for something around $40k
I like what the red texture on the inside of the car. I like how it is red because it goes well with the car.
You guys tested the best color combo...silver with red interior. That's the quintessential German sports car color combo.
Finally some one who is not color blind
Unfortunately that red soft top is disgusting.

@@DruryLane-i3n Base motor is 2.7, I just picked up a sliver over red 981 Spyder. I traded in a 2005 Boxster S, put 140,000 miles on that car.

I'm liking the new direction of reviews kbb is going

I know mustangs me and my brother had a few, just didn't drive the new 5.0 yet. So why did you go for the brz instead for mustnag?
kbb reviews are much more enjoyable and informative and the same time like never before :D
This car just looks fantastic, the black rims, red interior, classic design
Review that finally covers things driver truly care about! Thank you
what are the options equipped on this car?
damn, Micah nails these sub-5 minute reviews
so in your region u call it a "baxter"?
It certainly never feels gutless. This reviewer isn't sophisticated enough to fully appreciate this amazing car.
He is an inexperienced kid.

amazing review ! so much better than other reviews on youtube ;)
That's Kelly Blue Book yo
Great review! And I love the dashboard layout of the new Boxster!
Kbb always have great reviews
Hey dude. I LOVE THE FIRST PERSON CAM.
Waiting on a Cayman video.
Is it coming anytime soon? I'm excited!
how were you able to review a 2015 in 2013 ?
micah nails it all the time
Excellent review!
they've come a long way with their looks
hi there, i am from Recife in BRAZIL South America, and I would really liked the sharing of this video with us down here in this part of the world...
brz is nice it's got good reviews all around. I like more muscle but also with handling, I've got c5 vette conv. and firehawk conv.

A 13 second quarter and a 173 mph top speed not fast enough?

boxster or cayman???
Nice review. It sure seems like an awesome car.
Two of the best Muscle cars. I am a fan of the new Mustang GT and Boss.
This POV views are great! More!
Great review!
I'd take this, Range Rovers arent very Reliable but if you need the extra space go ahead with it but I think the Boxter looks better
Awesome FPP mode! (First Person Porsche mode)
very good, but price as tested?
that interior is 3k alone, so no
If you have to ask, you cannot afford it.
especially the new 5.0 but the older ones u can get for low $
What would the top speed for this car be?
More than you can handle.
Really great production value for this video
This or the evoque hmm
Stock engine is loads of fun(drove it recently), but only really in Europe. In the US, with bigger straight roads I can see it being "underpowered", but revving is hard down a twisting European road is alot of fun.
Yes.
yeah everybody likes something different, I've never drove brz yet.
finally review with manual all other are the stupid PDK
Benzinio pdk is faster tho
Having owned 6 speed manual and PDK the PDK wins, bigly
Awesome interior
nicely done
gonna rent one of these bad boys for my 21st b day
K now do the carrera 911
would look perfect with the blue interior and sport tech steering wheel. nice review!
All car reviews should be done at night.
maybe for you go ahead and buy it then;) mazda miata is a real handling bargain.
I like this Car too it's called Porsche Boxster🚘😎👫🇩🇪
Almost bought, probably should have
Lol! @ 1:49 I own that same car but in red and I live in Montana. Yes, it is a manual. Makes it theft proof. (sarcasm). I haven’t gotten a speeding ticket yet. Right now it’s -3 f and 20ft of snow. So I’ve been driving the Wrangler not the Porsche.
Almost looks as good as a KBB Girl.
Without the Turbo Lag and the horrible fuel economy. The Boxter is also 300 pounds lighter.....................
Nice!
I think it's accent
Awesome
My SAAB Sonett kicks this cars ass!
265hp is the same as a Subaru wrx
Just purchased it
This video reminds me of need for speed
Super car handling at a bargain $
love it nonetheless...
ladies and gentlemen... i present............ the all new Toyota MRS!!
heh...
pronounced boxster not baxster
LOLOLOL I was just going to say the same!
To be honest, that stupid Toyota can never compete with this high quality made Porsche.
underpowered for the $
28k used
Stop the cliches, please.
That all red interior is down right ugly, other than that awesome car. Keep it mostly black or dark grey with red accents.
Your only taste is in your mouth. Honda owner?
I call it a boxster and i live southern califorina too
and your point is?

1234567890what if you live in a city to which there is heavy traffic you will wish you had pdk. as far as being better i couldn't say
1234567890what PDK is faster than manual gearbox. Manual [acceleration to 100 km] - 5,8 sec. PDK [acceleration to 100 km] - 5,5 sec (sport+). Also all PDK Porsche cars are faster than cars with manual gearboxes
