If you like to drive and you want to love to drive, or if you love to drive and you've always known that someday you would own a brand-new Porsche convertible, then the all-new 2013 Boxster is wha
If you're not into paying $50,000-$60,000 for your open-top ride, then an Audi TT or Nissan 370Z convertible may be more your speed.
With good power always on tap and 40-percent stiffer, lightest-in-class architecture always with its mind on the road, the 2013 Porsche Boxster drives exactly as your imagination would insist that a sports car drive. Its massive brakes swallow up speed in one gulp without hesitation. And anyone who tells you that the Boxster's new variable-ratio electric power-steering system takes a back seat to the legendary benchmark Porsche mechanical systems of old is just politicking for another drive in a Boxster. The new electric steering is Porsche

"2013 Boxster is my first Porsche and I have no regrets. I was so excited to get this car that I ordered it in the fall of 2012. I use it as a daily commuter car, and have been happy with the gas mileage (about 29 MPG). The instruments are intuitive. It is also very comfortable on road trips. I did not appreciate the performance until I attended Porsche Driving School and realized how incredible it really is. The 2 trunks provides plenty of storage, and I love the fact that the roof can be raised in a matter of second while going as fast as 34 MPH. I highly recommend 3 upgrades: 1) full leather interior is a wonderful luxury to the cockpit; 2) bi-zenon lights is a must (I drive a winding country road) to illuminate; and 3) multi-purpose steering wheel to control the computer, radio, and phone. I thought I wanted the manual transmission, but hubby talked me into the PDK. The dual gear box switches gears so much faster than any human can. PDK makes driving in traffic easier or the giddy-up for the highway. The Boxster is no longer a Porsche starter car. It is an equal to its 911 big brother."
