Anyone drive a new Boxster .?
I’ve still got a low mileage 986S tucked away somewhere, and have had numerous drives in each future iteration. The Anniversary model looks great, but I’m not loving the colour of the wheels.
It's just a matter of time...
Kaspersky warned of threats on that page. I have a 981 Boxster, last of the 6 cyl but now Porsche have seen sense with the GTS 4.0 I may order one this year. Waiting to see how the Macan S pans out as an everyday car before deciding.
Think the wheels look really retro. It has the same 4l engine as the gts as well.
1250 only to be built worldwide.

£73k for a Boxster jesus, and that’s without the unobtainium premium.
What I thought I’ve always thought of a good spec Boxster around the 55k markOriginally Posted by GraniteQuarry
Indeed, I’ve always felt they should be almost base specification to give a back-to-basics top-down sensory overload.
Not trying to be controversial but I always thought that the Boxster looked totally underwhelming for a Porsche - like a modern day 924. The Cayman is what it should have looked like.

As a current ownership prospect, I’d actually prefer a Cayman. At least I have a removable hard top on mine, so can pretend in winter :)

Wonder if a removable hard top is available for the boxster ? Best of both worlds
Certainly not the ones I’ve seen!! Doesn’t make a Boxster look like a Cayman!

The car that saved Porsche. I do like the retro look.
Still happy with my 964 though. The last of the "old gang".
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.

Works on my older version:

Looks spot on to me Scott
Hard to improve on this i think, but then I am biased. The anniversary one is a great colour aside from the golden parts that just don’t work for me, at all.

Very nice. What engine is in that ?

Thanks, 3.4L - quite literally the most fun / complete car I have owned, plus I think it looks great from all angles.
Lovely

Nearly bought a 981 GTS last year but couldn't justify the premium on them but still on the list for me at some point as it still beats the new one for looks.
Is that GT silver and is it manual?
Yes GT silver, but went PDK, love a third pedal but gearing felt a little long. So much more enjoyable & confidence inspiring vs my M4

I've had the 981 Cayman in both manual and PDK but I think the long gearing thing is a bit overplayed but when/if I get another it will be PDK.
GT silver is the perfect colour on these.
I had the F80 M3 but it didn't last long. Never confident in that in the wet.
Thats an interestng comment on your M3 Hood, what year was your car? Done quote a lot of reading on the M3 and it seems BMW tamed the rear end grip/handling as the model aged. The M3 CS is on my maybe list for a second fun car and it is supposed to be very exciting but not in a 'wants to kill you' way.
You would not believe how cheap I sold that. It didn't move for ages back then! Crazy!
But then, I bought it for 30k Euros with just 25k km. Wonders DO happen sometimes.
Or did.
I wish I had the C2 though, MUCH cheaper maintenance...
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
I feel your pain. The last BTR i saw for sale, sold for $249k in auction (and that was a 3.4 rather than the 3.8 version).
But I would have thought a C4 would be ideal given your location

I’d like to try the AWD offers at some point, but I’ve reached a point where I don’t need more power / speed, the GTS is fast enough & confidence aplenty, was redlining out of corners in the first weekend I had it in sports plus, I had one play with M modes on the M4 and left that alone after!
I tried all the software updates for it, via recoding but still wasn’t poised enough for me. I drove one with £3k of suspension & was a totally different experience. Felt like the accountants were involved at suspension time.
Will have had the Porsche for almost a year at the end of next month...cracking time to buy a car 2 weeks before lockdown! It hasn’t done half the planned trips in it. Roll on spring & can get the roof down on the wife’s Boxster ( the car that made me realise the M4 had to go)
