Porsche Boxster Roadster (1996-2004) boot space, practicality and safety
Looking for a different model?
(change model)
A reasonable level of safety equipment comes as standard, but traction control is only optional and it hasn’t been Euro NCAP crash tested. An alarm, immobiliser and central locking with deadlocks are all fitted.
For a sportscar there is an impressive degree of practicality to the Boxster. Not only does it have a fair sized boot behind the engine, but the luggage space in the nose is larger than that of the 911.
