2009 Porsche Boxster S
2009 Porsche Boxster S - Porsche Convertible Sport Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
The Boxster's sterling reputation for balance, capability, and forgivingness is well earned.

It's tough to think of a better way to celebrate 80-degree July weather than with one of Zuffenhausen's finest roadsters.

Even at nearly legal speeds, the car's impeccable balance, grip, and road feel are a joy.inline_mediumwraptextright24628828/reviews/editors_notebook/0908_2009_porsche_boxster_s0908_01_z+2009_porsche_boxster_s+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
