2012 Porsche Boxster Review
By KBB.com EditorsIf you've been yearning for a mid-engine roadster, but your budget begs to differ, the 2012 Porsche Boxster might be right up your alley. And as the least expensive car in Porsche's stable, Porsche ad
If the Boxster's engineering formula is everything you desire in a sports car sans the drop-top roof, the marginally more expensive Porsche Cayman is the right car for you.
Typical of its inherent Porsche DNA, any Boxster model, from the base version to the lighter, more hardcore Spyder, delivers a typically sporting driving experience. Feedback through the steering wheel and chassis are about as good as it gets, and the seating position is excellent. Controls are deliberate and easily manageable, with the driver support systems like stability management and the available active suspension system providing minimally invasive corrections, but always there to assist should you overestimate your own driving talent.

"I am really happy when I am driving my Boxster S. The car is glued to ground even around the tightest turns. Inside, the car is extremely comfortable even for somebody six feet tall. Compared to the 911 series, both of the Boxsters offer great value for the money, especially if you can pick one up a few years old. Probably the biggest issue is tire wear - you get 10-20k miles out of a set of tires and replacements aren't exactly cheap, especially for the 19" Carrera wheels. Otherwise the car is a pleasure to drive especially with the ~300 HP droning wonderfully out that exhaust."

"Despite a screw rattling around in the passenger vent and a top motor malfunction this car is like nothing else. It corners beyond this middle aged man in crisis' ability to break it responsibly from the pavement. Its strong acceleration from midline to redline is thrilling and braking is equally as compliant. Road manners are excellent and comfort exceeds expectations. With a little responsibility it even shatters EPA numbers despite the 19" Carerra wheels and tires (about 1400 a set online). This car is a rush from the time you put the key in the left handed ignition. I could hardly imagine what the S version would be like. In this price segment, if you can find one used in adult driven condition - JUMP at it. You will never have a single regret!"
