1998 Porsche Boxster review from North America
"Fun little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Cruise Control does not work.
General comments?
This car is fairly quick, depending on how much weight, humidity, etc.
The handling is excellent, especially with traction control. When the back end slides, the traction control will kick in at the exact point that I need to go straight.
The hardtop is a definite plus. The car has a total different look depending on if you have the hard top, soft top, or no top!
