We say Superb roadster. The Boxster is basically the best in its class.Performance 255bhp 2.9-litre and 310 3.2-litre six-cylinder petrol engines both deliver power and torque. Go for a manual box. The 2.9-litre is ample and will save you over 5 grand.Emissions 30mpg is possible in the smaller engine; 221g/km is as good as it gets in the Porsche roadster.Driving Superb feedback through the steering. Grip, stability, firm but comfortable ride. The Boxter has it all.Feel The Boxster is quiet and refined but the engines both sound glorious.Space Decent boot space but it's a two-seater only.Equipment Climate control, alloys and CD player are standard.Price The Porsche Boxster’s running costs are high but buying prices aren't bad and residuals will hold up well.Quality Solidly built, good inside, should be reliable.Safety Traction control and driving programmes are optional extras.Pros Superb drive, affordable, great looks.Cons Difficult to sayAlternatives BMW Z4, Nissan 370Z
