It’s a cool car.
Insecure mofos gonna whine. Let them.
This is a boxer, right?
Wasn't it Clarkson who ignited the flame of hate? The porsche for people who couldn't afford a real porsche?
Just have fun. Drive what you like. A cabrio is always a delight.
Yeah this is the first gen Boxster.
They are nice to drive, handle great, and are even decent to work on, if you have a lift to get underneath, since that’s where most of the service items are accessed.
The problem is that they had an un-oiled bearing supporting an intermediate counter shaft that can(will) fail and often kills the motor (also a problem on the IMS bearing of similar aged 911s). If it’s had the bearing replaced, and especially if it’s been upgraded with a solution to oil it, it’s usually a great deal too.
You know, the only people I ever heard complain about them didn't drive Porsches.
I liked it better than the 914 & 944, I'll give it that.
The 944 is the real red headed step child of the family.
I don’t have an opinion, it just appears to be a mix of an Audi TT and a Honda S2000.
Perhaps a pinch of Miata…
I honestly really like the Boxster, and I think the hatred for it is heavily undeserved and also heavily fueled by toxic bravado and insecurity.
It's an affordable (for a Porsche, at least) and fun-to-drive roadster that looks sleek and nice, but just because it's cheaper than and not as powerful as the 911, that apparently makes it "a girl's car" and therefore "bad"...
It's ironic to me that the people who always say they're fake Porsches because they're less expensive, still can't afford to buy one.
Much better than the Cayenne.
My wife had one. It was a blast to drive. Super fun little car.
Tbh, just from a design perspective, Porsches have never been very interesting to me. This one is only slightly more bland than the rest
I think it looks pretty good actually
Is this like Mercedes owners shitting on people for driving a C class?
nothing wrong with it other than me not being able to afford them
As a Miata enjoyer, I’ve always had a soft spot for the Boxster. It’s probably my favorite Porsche other than the ones that are impossible to buy (speedster, Carrera GT, 550 spyder, 918 spyder)
