Written review: https://www.cargurus.co.uk/research/P...


Pros
Exceptionally enjoyable to drive
Practical enough to use every day
Roof-down thrills without compromising the driving experience

Cons
Four-cylinder engines sound bland
Tyres and brakes will be expensive to replace
Lacks the rear seats of a 911

The CarGurus verdict
You’ll have to decide for yourself if the (ironically rather flat) flat-four engine is a deal-breaker. You wouldn’t be alone in finding its tuneless blare unbecoming of such an otherwise brilliant Porsche sports car. If you just can’t live with its noisy clatter, perhaps you can stretch a little further and buy a GTS 4.0 or Spyder; their naturally-aspirated flat-six engines are every bit as soulful as you’d expect of the Stuttgart marque.

Engines aside, the 718 Boxster is a near-peerless roadster. It is exquisite to drive with perhaps the best sports car chassis on sale today, while the drop-top roof makes it more enjoyable more of the time than its fixed-roof stablemate, the 718 Cayman. What’s more remarkable still about Porsche’s drop-top two-seater is that it’s comfortable and (relatively) practical in daily use. Little wonder the Porsche Boxster has stood on top of the sports car class for so long.
