Porsche 718 Boxster

Model reviewed: 718 Spyder
Score: 10 / 10
“As sensational to drive as it is to look at or listen to, the new Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder is a seriously good sports car. Its ability makes it fine value at £73,405 and is surely a future classic in the making as a result.”

Score: 8 / 10
“We’d argue the GTS treatment makes more sense in Cayman – or indeed 911 – guise, but the Boxster still is a beautifully communicative sports car. It’s sharp enough to reward even the keenest drivers, without feeling too stiff or brittle on UK roads.”

“The Porsche 718 Spyder is a truly special machine and evidence the brand hasn’t totally forgotten its purist roots. With its big engine, manual-only transmission and spicy handling it’s a car for drivers, its unique style and limited availability setting it apart from the 718 Boxster on which it is based.”

“Most roadsters are more about posing than driving, but the Porsche 718 Boxster is a consummate sports car. The latest model looks brilliant inside and out, and combines brilliant handling balance with immense grip and turbocharged performance that’s easier to access during everyday driving.”

“It might be the cheapest, least powerful member of the Porsche convertible family, but you really shouldn’t write it off. The 718 Boxster is still a brilliant machine to drive.”

“Once, the Boxster used to give you so much of the 911 Carrera Cabriolet experience at around half the price. Even with the Carrera’s switch to turbocharging, that’s no longer the case.”

“There are seven-star hotels in Dubai. If the same rating ever applies to cars, we need to chuck this Porsche 718 Boxster in there at the front of the queue. Whatever German is for cream of the crop, it’s that.”

“The Porsche 718 Boxster, likes its predecessor, is the best two-seater performance convertible you can buy. It may not have the same character as before, but it makes up for that with sublime handling, strong performance and everyday comfort.”

“Yes, it’s faster. Yes, it does more miles-per-gallon. And yes, it produces less CO2 yet more horsepower. But it isn’t as much fun.”

“While the 718 Cayman coupé is clearly the driver’s choice of the two, there is not much lost despite the loss of a roof in the Boxster. The set-up is supple and very street biased, yet you can drive this car hard on a track and for as long as the tyres last it’s faithful, fast and fastidiously mannered.”
