The Boxster is a two seated, mid-engine convertible that arrived early in 1997 as the first all new Porsche (in 19 years). In the year 2000, Porsche added a Boxster S model with a larger, more powerful engine and gave the base model more muscle. Choosing a used Porsche Boxster will satisfy those who find the look of the Porsche 356 models of the 1940’s and 1950’s attractive. The traditional Porsche style is highlighted by the vertical steering wheel and the pedals are attached below the floor instead of above. Also, according to Porsche tradition, the interior has body-hugging bucket seats and a no-nonsense design. A used Porsche Boxster is definitely for those who like the speed of the open road. The fastest version is equipped with a 3.2 litre six-cylinder engine with 250 horsepower, while the base model’s six-cylinder grows from 2.5 litres to 2.7 litres (and horsepower rises from 201 to 217). A six speed manual transmission is standard on the used Porsche Boxster S, while the base models come with a five speed manual. The second hand market also offers models with five speeds Tiptronic, which allows the changing of gears manually through steering wheel switches. To sum it up, a used Porsche Boxster is a car that maintains the Porsche tradition and places the performance over creature comforts.
