If you seek a signature Porsche driving experience with mid-mount engine dynamics and an open top, the Porsche Boxster is right up your alley. Or, if you’d like entry into one of the world’s best high-performance “driver’s clubs” without breaking the bank, the Boxster is the least expensive in the Porsche model range at nearly $4,000 less than the next least-expensive model, the fixed-roof Cayman.
If you seek a signature Porsche driving experience unaltered by the lack of a roof, the Cayman may be a better choice. And the Boxster will also suffer from a problem typical of the entire Porsche range: Getting all the bells and whistles you want can make the cost increase quickly.
