Porsche Boxster (2004 - 2011) 3.2 S 2d (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Most probably that I cut people's hair and 'look at me!' But I don't care because it worth it just on the basis of how it drives.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

To my face they say its a good car and they are impressed by the way it drives. Behind my back they most probably say poser.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes definitely. Its an experience that never fails to bring a smile to your face.

What are you likely to buy next?

Not really sure. If my wife has her way (and she always does) there will most probably be the tiny pitter patter sound of babies and the clatter of a diesel people carrier. But there is always the hope that my mountain bike riding during my youth has caused the baby making process to take longer than normal, and my porsche boxster driving days may long continue.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£17,500

When did you buy the car?

September 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not really. Was selling a high owner bmw and the car was already at a good price considering the condition/mileage etc.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Okay. Talked the usual dealer talk and tried to convince me that he was doing me a very special deal because he liked me. Yeah right!

What's it like to drive?

I have owned and driven various cars including a BMW Z4, Mazda RX8 and Nissan 350Z. Personally, I think this car is in a different league to those. Its amazing! It has the most intoxicating acceleration, sound and handling of anything I have driven.

What's it like to park?

Quite a small car so its pretty easy to park. The car I have also has reverse sensors which make it even easier. Just watch out for kerbing those alloys.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Only owned the car 5 weeks so its early days but from research it should hopefully prove to be a reliable car.

What's most practical about your car?

Two boots of decent size considering its a two seater sports car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Putting the roof down whilst travelling (upto 30mph) and possibly the speed variable spoiler.
