2004 Porsche Boxster 2.7 review from UK and Ireland
"Don't hesitate, life is too short and this car too good!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. Simply nothing has gone wrong with my car.
General comments?
Although the last of the old model and many of my criticisms have been addressed in the current car, I never fail to be amazed at the way my car drives. The interior is a bit basic, the seat and steering wheel don't have enough adjustment and desirable extras can see the cost rise dramatically. But this is not a luxury car. It is a thoroughbred sports car. When the shine rubs off on the BMW Z4 and Honda S2000 the Porsche continues to sparkle. It's not the badge, it's the engineering, the brilliant concept and the way it does what it does. After two years including a 2,500 mile trip around Switzerland and southern France, I am still learning about the weekend car I keep in my garage. I took it to a track day recently and it blew me away. The delicate handling. Those brakes. Wow!
