1998 Porsche Boxster from UK and Ireland - Comments

I tried lowering the roof when it was 2 degrees outside, and cracked the rear window. Porsche then said I had to buy a whole new roof, rather than just the window.

2 Days after purchase, my rear tyre blew at 100MPH on the M25, sending me careering across 3 lanes.

The roof lowering mechanism stopped working after a couple of years, turned out to be a cut wire.

The fact that the car can do 140 MPH got me banned from driving in the UK.

The handling is excellent, but I would appreciate a bit more grunt in the 0 - 60, which is why I am building an Ultima GTR at the moment. This car does give off a lot of sex appeal though, and if you want a car that can make women drop their pants, this is it.

Nice review, although women prepared to drop their pants solely because of the car you drive are normally to be avoided at all costs! ;-)

Well I would probably agree that this type of woman should be avoided, only... that's sort of how I met my husband!

I saw this cute lookin' guy drive in to the service station and I started talking to him (and marveling at his Astra convertible!!) and I gave him my number and he called me and asked me out...

We are now VERY happily married... and so ends the enchanting tale from Australia!!!

What about women who drive boxters? I think it's quite obvious they are not interested in charming some guy. You drive a porsche because it's a porsche, not to get girls.

As a woman who rides a kawasaki zl600 motorcyle and is planning on buying a porsche...you're missed the point entirely.

Do they really drop there pants, i need to change my car pronto and get me a boxter, then again I'm in enough bother as it is.

I'm going to buy a porsche jest to get the ladies and I'm only seventeen and geting a porsche.WOW.

It is a charming car with superb handling. I crashed it two times.. surprisingly still alive. And oh, if a car could have a smiley face on it... this is it!
