'06 Porsche Boxster

Handling the 2006 Porsche Boxster is a real treat. It chassis comes as a masterpiece. The engineering offers you great grip and the solid feedback allows you to drive on with ease. The mid-engine layout is also perfect for distributing weight equally.

For being the neat looking, small two-seater, the 2006 Porsche Boxster has a grand boot space of 280 liters of total storage. The insides are big enough to hold all your weekend shopping, or golf kit.

The luggage space is comparable to that of the regular front-engine Mercedes SLK. There are few storage areas available in the usual places also. So if you are worrying too much about space, you might not have to!

The base model is fitted with an H-6 2.7 liter 240 hp engine while the Boxster S comes with a more powerful H-6 3.2 liter 280 horsepower engine.

'07 Porsche Boxster


The 2007 Porsche Boxster is a small but attractive supercar. It is luscious looking from the outside as well as the inside. The interiors are smartly packed. On the outside, the rear instantly reminds you as being inspired from the Carrera GT, with its added props at the rear spoiler, and even the front bumper makes a similar emulative connection.

'05 Porsche Boxster


The 2005 Porsche Boxster is your cheapest deal to bite into the Porsche pie, but it is by no means less impressive than other Porsche models. Their ownership is very scant across the world, and their popularity has therefore been quite widespread.

This is one exceptionally pretty looking convertible. You can imagine a face-lifted 2004 edition with some great new nips and tuck-ins. The front end is quite distinguishable and the oval headlights look fabulous, making it remind you of a 911 Porsche Carrera.

The car comes with a rather curvy back, and makes for a great sassy look. It is more attractive and well styled than the Boxster-based Cayman coupe. There are pretty nice touches done up in an all-over way, and one is bound to enjoy this great beauty.

2007 Porsche Boxster

Though this series had received a major revamp in 2005 including the engines for this series, the 2007 Porsche Boxster series gets a further engine tweak that adds both torque and power to the engines.

The addition of the Porsche VarioCam Plus System helps tremendously by providing lift control and variable intake valve timing. 2007 options include adding two-tone upholstery, 19” tires, and the 911 Turbo aluminum wheels.

For Performance upgrades on the standard 2007 Porsche Boxster we see a 245 hp 2.7 liter engine that sees a modest 5 hp upgrade from previous models.The more powerful Boxster S sees a whole new engine upgrade that moves up from 3.2 to 3.4 liters that now produces a whopping 295 horsepower, adding 15 pounds-feet of torque as well.

Of course, both engines come with VarioCam Plus control systems for better lift control and valve timing. These upgrades are welcomed with open arms, and help make the car more alluring and attractive than ever before.

Porsche has decided that it is best to leave a good thing alone, and they have not planned any major changes to the automobiles. Minor changes like weight sensors for the power seats that allow adjustments for child-safety seats have been included. New Carrera 19” sports wheels are also available, as are an electronic log book and a tire-pressure monitoring system.
