Porsche Boxster
Model Overview
The Porsche Boxster is the German sports car brand's most straightforward model. This two-seat roadster puts its six-cylinder engine ahead of the rear wheels, where it provides great handling balance and places the car's mechanical soundtrack right behind the driver's ears. Though not out-of-this-world powerful, the Boxster's entertainment value is in its well-matched engine and chassis, plus the added benefit of open-air driving.

Lots of fun on a used Honda budget
December 07, 2016
Overall Score
I love this car. The performance is just outstanding. The build quality is extremely high. Try taking one apart. I drive it regularly and have over 150,000 km on it with just oil changes and regular scheduled factory maintenance. If you have the spare change you need to get one. Cost of operation and price is at a used Honda level. You figure it out... a used Honda or a Porsche..

Manufacturer Recall Number:
AKB4
Units Affected:

Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the airbag electronic control unit could be damaged by an electrical fault. This could cause the airbag system not to work properly in a crash. It could also result in a deployment of the airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners without a crash.

Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the airbag control module. If an electrical fault is detected, the airbag control module will be replaced.

On certain vehicles the front hood lock may have been improperly manufactured. The front hood lock upper components, on which the catch bar are riveted to the mounting plate, were not produced according to specifications. This could result in the hood opening unexpectedly while the vehicle is being driven. This could compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, as well as cause damage to the windshield, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the upper part of the lock on the front hood.
