For an up-close look at how the Boxster S--our pick of the Boxster range, though the base model is still quite fun--performs on track, watch the videos and read the commentary from our first drive report. And for all of the details on the 2013 Porsche Boxster, be sure to read the full review at The Car Connection. But the Boxster's not purely about performance. It's a beautiful car to look at, inside and out, and it's surprisingly comfortable for a small roadster. The seats are supportive, there's enough room even for taller drivers to stretch out a bit, and with the soft top up, it's quiet, comfortable, and almost coupe-like. The materials Porsche uses throughout the cabin look and feel like quality, and though it won't tickle everyone's fancy, the button-heavy control layout works precisely as advertised--and is often much quicker than sorting through the menu trees of touchscreen-only systems.
The PDK transmission itself deserves some attention, as it's the most telepathic unit we've had the pleasure to experience. Cruising smoothly and easily on city streets or ripping off downshifts as you trailbrake into a hairpin corner on track, the Boxster's PDK transmission is more than up to the task. In fact, it's certainly better than any human might be. For those that prefer the three-pedal dance, there's still a very capable and slick six-speed manual gearbox, but our money would go to the PDK. Stellar performance, an upscale cabin and new exterior styling makes the 2013 Porsche Boxster better than ever. Reviewers agree that the competition just got tougher for rival sports cars. If you’re shopping for a two-seat roadster, you have plenty of options, but reviewers agree that if performance is a top priority, it’s tough to beat the Porsche Boxster. The Boxster has been thoroughly redesigned for 2013, and test drivers say that although it’s slightly larger than the outgoing model, all of that well-known Boxster goodness carries over. As a result, most test drivers say that in many ways, the 2013 Boxster is even better than before. Its interior design borrows styling cues from higher-priced siblings like the 911 and Panamera, and thanks to its longer wheelbase and wider track, many note that the new Boxster is more confidence-inspiring on a twisty road.
Here are 5 suggestions to consider when you do online shopping. 1. Be patient. For me, shopping online somehow differs from shopping in department and specialty stores. I have a sense of urgency about ordering something online once I start. Whereas, in stores, there are so many other things for sale, on display, that the environment itself helps to distract you from focusing on one thing. I also don't expect to find what I'm looking for when I go to any particular store. Rather I expect it will take a number of stops or even a number of shopping excursions. 2. Break up your online shopping over several days. Marketing online is getting better and more clever. What you see and read can be more persuasive or hypnotic than displays in stores. By taking breaks, you break the "trance" which can allow for doubts and questions to come up. You may remember other features or values that are important to you.
When you move away from the computer, the information that you gathered will have time to be sifted in your mind. You'll also have time to get other people's opinions and experiences. 3. Online vendors have to be very competitive. What this means for a shopper is that you can find better and better prices. So once you've decided on a particular product, start price comparisons, checking to see whether shipping is free and whether sales tax is included. 4. Google for discount codes for the product. Have you noticed that most sites have a blank for a promotion or discount code? You can often find them online and save yourself some money. 5. Always find out warranty or guarantee information for products that may be defective or break down within the first month or two from the purchase date. Sometimes solid companies don't mention a guarantee but because they operate with integrity, you can get a refund for an unsatisfactory purchase.
