Summary

Highly recommended. Little except new-style headlamps serves to tell the second-generation Boxster apart from the seminal original, but under its skin Porsches ultra-desirable roadster has more powerful engines and a higher quality cabin.

Styling

Strong design pretty much guarantees being on the receiving end of serious envy. New headlamps look far better than the plasticky units of the original Boxster.

Handling

Whether travelling fast or slow, the Boxster drives brilliantly thanks to towering grip levels and a scalpel-sharp chassis.

Comfort

Interior feels gloomy with the canvas roof in place compared to retractable hard-top rivals but the driving position is relatively good for longer distances.

Quality

Vastly improved when compared to the plasticky-feeling cabin of the original Boxster. High quality switchgear and good ergonomics dominate now.

Performance

The basic 2.7 litre version will be fast enough for almost everyone - although its impossible to deny the attraction of the more rapid 3.2.

Roominess

Limited luggage space and the hassle of having to keep opening and closing the front bonnet loses the Boxster points here, but the cabin has several large stowage compartments.

Costs

Used gently, the Boxster can crack 30 mpg - but under hard use the fuel economy plummets proportionately. Insurance and servicing costs are very high, but well-contained depreciation helps redress the economic balance somewhat.

Value

Youre paying a substantial premium for the Porsche badge compared to less exotic rivals and options are expensive.

Stereo

The basic stereo gives decent sound quality, with various unit upgrades available. Satnav works well although it feels a bit short on features compared to some rivals systems.
