2002 Porsche Boxster S review from North America
"This car is made to drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
The 2002 Porsche Boxster S, as I would assume all Porsche Boxster models, wants to have fun. Upon purchasing this car I realized just how much enjoyable a drive to work could be. Its like being a teenager again. I don't think there could be a mass produced car that is more fun to drive for the price.
Acceleration is great, handling is amazing, trannsmission is smooth and tight. The mid-engine completely out performance other rear or front wheel drive cars when it comes to handling. It may not be the fastest car out there, but put the top down, head into the mountains and you will experience what a roadster was meant to be.
Porsche is about performance and driving... this car lives up to its name.
