Best Reason to Buy the Porsche Boxster: Handling
The Boxster's handling is simply remarkable. Nimble, agile, quick, and superbly balanced. I've driven lots of sports cars and "sporty cars," but nothing compares. When we were shopping almost 6 yrs ago, we test drove a BMW Z4 and the Boxster on the same afternoon. My wife and I were sold on the Boxster immediately. Compared with the Boxster, the Z4 felt heavy and sluggish.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Porsche Boxster: Quietness
This is both a con and a pro. It isn't a quiet car such as you'd expect from Cadillac. Its soft top doesn't shield out road noise when it's up, and certainly not when it's down. But, oh boy, that engine sound -- sweet!

Best Reason to Buy the Porsche Boxster: Handling
The Steering Response and feedback is amazing. I have driven so many faster and more serious sports cars, but none had the sharp handling of the Boxster. Because of this, it was the most fun car I have driven.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Porsche Boxster: Front seat room
Because of the steering wheel that you cannot Tilt, if you are tall, your knees might accidentally turn on the cruise control button located behind the steering wheel.

Other Reasons to Buy the Porsche Boxster: Powertrain performance, Past personal experience, Exterior styling, Front seat support & comfort

Other Reasons Not to Buy the Porsche Boxster: Rear seat room & comfort, Price or payments, Dealership practices, Audio & nav systems

Best Reason to Buy the Porsche Boxster: Handling
With new Bilsteins,Bridgstone Potanzas,The car feels like there is no breaking point.Steering has good feedback and lets you know when your at the edge.This suspension can handle much more horsepower than Porsche gave it.Fun,Fun.Fun.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Porsche Boxster: Reliability & durability
No complaints so far.Rumors of 2000 to 2008 motors have a 27 percent chance of blowing due to faulty design of a two piece crankshaft.However many ,many Boxsters have up to 175,000 on them

Best Reason to Buy the Porsche Boxster: Handling
This has got to be the best handling car available - and I include Ferrari's, 911's, Lamborghini's etc in that statement. Mid engine, perfect balance, predictable under any conditions including snow & ice.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Porsche Boxster: Ride smoothness
If you want a cushy ride, don't buy this car. It's a sports car first and everything else is secondary.
