So my friend Steve brought his Porsche Boxster S over today so I decided to review it on the blog.
Although there's a new Boxster on the scene right now, it's really hard to tell them apart. Steve begs to differ, he can easily tell the new one from the old. He's smoking crack. There's almost no perceptible differences between the two. This 2003 Boxster was the first year they made it with a glass rear window, so you don't end up with a completely clouded out plastic window in 2 years.
The Good - The Boxster looks way better than a 911. Period. It also is one of the best looking roadsters with the top down. It's the least chick roadster of them all, way better than a Miata or a VW EOS. Dig the red Brembo brake calipers you find on the Carrera, part of the package you pay the extra 20 grand for on the S. I also like the whited-out blinkers on the tail lights, much classier than the amber ones. Steve swapped out the amber front side turn signals with darkened white ones. The centrally located twin tail pipes are also a nice touch. Also like the integrated fog lights.
The Bad - when the top's up.
The Ugly - when the top's up. And the fact that the front wheels are so far back from the front end of the car. There's simply too much overhang on the front end, they should've pushed the front wheels to the corners.
In conclusion, there's really not too much to pick with on the Boxster S. It's almost as great looking as my 2005 Infiniti G35 S sedan!
