    Road Test
    Although the Boxster tied the Chevrolet Corvette in overall scoring in our comparison tests, it drives much differently. The lithe Boxster provides nimble, secure, and effortless handling. It managed a very fast speed through our accident-avoidance course. The steering and chassis provide excellent feedback to the driver. The Boxster is a car that doesn't have to be driven fast to be fun to drive. Dropping the top is easy. The interior is nicely put together but Spartan.

    Owner Reports

    Owner Satisfaction Owner Satisfaction To learn about satisfaction, CR has collected survey data from our annual survey on more than half a million vehicles. Our subscribers provide great insights into their satisfaction by answering one simple question: If they had it to do all over again, would they definitely buy or lease the same model? In addition, respondents also rate their cars in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio, and climate systems. NA indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.
