2006 Porsche Boxster

After getting a major revamp in '05, both the higher end 2006 Boxster S as well as the standard 2006 Porsche Boxster got major revisions in the form of better styling, greater safety features, better handling, and also became the first to have head-protecting airbags.

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.

The 2006 Porsche Boxster comes with a modified 240 hp 2.7 liter engine, while the more powerful brother, the Boxster S, comes with a 3.2 liter 280 hp engine that also features a six speed manual transmission. The car has amazing handling, and even the base model is a treat to drive.
