In 1997, Porsche released a new vehicle into the market. This was the Boxster. While other previous cars had been derided as pseudo-Porsches, this was not the case with the Boxster. It was greeted by fans from San Francisco CA to Philadelphia PA as being a true member of the family.
The 1997 Boxter
The launch of the Porsche Boxster was successful. It was a more affordable sports car for the time. It featured a 2.5-liter six-cylinder (flat six) engine matched with a five-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission. One particularly attractive feature was a power-operated top that closed in a remarkable 12 seconds. The handling and speed made it a fun car to drive.
The 2012 Boxter
The second generation of the Porsche Boxster saw significant improvements in reliability and technology. The last of this generation, the 2012 Boxster is considered one of the best years for a used model. The base engine, an 255 hp, F-6 2.9-liter mated to an optional 6-speed manual transmission, provides more than enough power for you to have that sports car feeling. It is lauded for its
- Superb handling/steering
- Remarkable fuel economy
- First-class interior using only premium materials
This vehicle is the typical two-seat roadster with a drop-top. It is an excellent and reliable choice. It is also a more affordable way to become a proud Porsche owner. You may even be able to find a fully-loaded base Boxster or a high-end trim such as the Boxster Spyder or the S Black Edition.
