Porsche Boxster Review

The 2014 Porsche Boxster ranks 2 out of 12 Luxury Sports Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Porsche Boxster, as well as reliability and safety data. With extraordinary handling and a modern interior design, test drivers agree that the 2014 Porsche Boxster is in a league of its own. Porsche Boxster and the more powerful Boxster S have six-cylinder engines that auto writers say provide strong acceleration and smooth power delivery. Both models come standard with a six-speed manual transmission, which test drivers think offers precise, engaging shifting. A seven-speed automated manual is optional, and automotive journalists say it delivers very quick, well-timed shifts. The base 2014 Porsche Boxster gets an EPA-estimated 20/30 mpg city/highway, which is very good for a luxury sports car. The Boxster comes fitted with a 2.7-litre flat-six engine with direct fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus.

These are the clearest pictures yet of the highly anticipated new Porsche 911, spied testing in Germany. Spotted joining the public road, the car is almost completely free from disguise. The car will be officially revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Look closely, and it鈥檚 possible to see how the firm鈥檚 designers have evolved the car鈥檚 legendary shape, adding sharper looking lights at the rear. The front end of the car is different too, and there鈥檚 a new look bumper, plus different looking headlamps - which are more oval in shape than before. Still lightly camouflaged, the lights take inspiration from the 918 Spyder concept car, revealed at last year鈥檚 Geneva Motor Show. The pictures also show the car鈥檚 new indicator arrangement, and modified hood opening, which is expected to give the car a more aerodynamic look. The side mirrors have also been moved onto the doors, rather than the wing. As we have come to expect from Porsche, the new 911鈥檚 design is far from what we would describe as radical, however, drivers can expect a big boost in luxury, quality and functionality inside.

According to sources, the refresh includes a Panamera-style centre console, and new leather trims. Under the skin, the car shares its front suspension and steering set-up with the forthcoming Boxster and Cayman, however, the rear suspension remains unchanged. Cars will continue to offer Porsche鈥檚 impressive PASM damper system, which allows drivers to choose between a series of different driving modes. The engine range is the same as that offered in the current 911 line-up. However, a new direct injection fuel system and stop and start promises to improve fuel economy by as much as 12 percent. Power upgrades are offered too, with the 3.6-liter flat-six Carrera model鈥檚 power and torque rising by 20bhp and 20Nm respectively, to 365bhp and 400Nm. The 3.8-liter unit in the Carrera S, meanwhile, gets 415bhp and 44Nm of torque. A six-speed manual gearbox will be standard, and the seven-speed PDK will be available as an option. Most buyers are likely to opt for the auto though, as around 80 per cent of current 911s feature the PDK dual clutch gearbox.
