![]() ![]() Trust me, I’m speaking from experience on this matter. The dual mode sports exhaust is a must have on any Porsche, but seeing as the Boxster is a roofless machine, you’ll enjoy it ten fold. Buyers could have optioned it individually, but it came with the Sport Chrono and Sport Chrono Plus packages, so it’s best to look for cars with those. While a fancy seat for a drooling poop machine is all well and good, the accessory you really want with your Boxster is the sports exhaust. If you’re going to take your offspring along for a ride in your Porsche, better make sure they’re rolling in style. Inside, the Boxster remained mostly unchanged, save for the addition of a redesigned infotainment system. New accessories were also made available, my favorite of them being the Porsche Baby Seat. This is a lightweight sports car meant to engage the driver, you want 3 pedals, period.Įxterior cosmetic changes were made in the form of new headlights, taillights, large front air intakes in the lower fascia, and the addition of twin diffusers to the lower rear. It shouldn’t be much of a question which I would suggest getting. Both cars now had the option of being equipped with Porsche’s 7-speed PDK transmission and came standard with a six speed manual. The bump came from an increase in displacement from 2.7 to 2.9 litres in the base model, while the use of Direct Fuel Injection in the 3.4 litre was responsible for the increase in the Boxster S. Power increased from 245hp to 255hp in the base Boxster and 295hp to 310hp in the Boxster S. The Generation II 987 took all those improvements up another notch and that’s why they’re the most desirable models. Referred to as the 987, the second generation cars look far better than the original, had more power, and vastly improved interiors. The second generation Boxster launched in 2005, but the ones to look for are the face lifted 2008-2012 models. After all, a base model Porsche is still a Porsche, and these days the Boxster is far more representative of the Porsche ethos than the 911. Those folks relentlessly throw shade at the Boxster, all the while knowing full well that if someone handed them the keys to one, they’d be overjoyed. What I’ve always found funny about all the negativity directed at the Boxster, is that it often comes from people who a) don’t own a Porsche and b) don’t have the means to own a Porsche. The average bag of bones with a few functioning synapses will forever look at the Boxster as a car that is “ lesser than”, something entry level, something plebeian.

I bought the vehicle just over a year ago from a professional lady who had owned her for the majority of her life and had maintained the car fastidiously.įinished in Charcoal Grey Metallic, Dark Electric Folding Roof and Rich Grey Leather Upholstery. The motor car is in beautiful condition both inside and out and drives without fault. It is with great regret that I am selling my 2003 Porsche Boxster 986 2. ![]() All Ready for the spring and summer open top motoring season! New MOT
