A vehicle that was brought to the world in 1996, that is certainly one of the best-handling production roadsters you can find anywhere, is the Porsche Boxster. It has been pretty much unchanged since the beginning, with only tweaks to the interior-options, and some moderate horsepower changes, but the Boxster is still a fast, powerful car. Usually when they have a successful model, Porsche keeps the look of the car for a long time.

In 2005, there was the introduction of a second-generation Boxster that was more powerful, but stayed with Porsche's usual conservative evolutionary path. It looks like a Porsche Spyder, but like its predecessor, it is a two-seater, with a mid-engine and six cylinders. The structure and electronics of the new Boxster are still over 50% borrowed from the 911 Carrera. Due to the modification of the torque and additional horsepower, the 2005 has more power than the 2004 equivalent. The 2005 Boxster S was almost equal to the expensive Porsche 911 Carrera in acceleration and top-speed performance.

There is no other car that can play such a distinctive trombone-like wail with its exhaust as the Boxster. Since the engine is a smaller version of the six-cylinder that can be found in the Carrera, that makes this an amazing thing. A five-speed manual transmission is exactly what the Boxster includes typically, but if you want a six-speed, it is optional. It may also be equipped with the Porsche-designed automatic transmission, the five-speed Tiptronic, which happens to be superb. This is because of the new trend towards an automatic that is manually shifted. This is definitely not an opulent car, even though the Boxster has high quality bodywork and interior, there is nothing purely decorative.

The earlier car had been criticized for its budget look, but the interior has become upgraded some since then. With a revised gearshift, and paneling with a titanium look, the center console has been improved. The new car has much better seats, with their body-shape and a lot better support. The Boxster features a modest trunk in the rear of the car, and one more, larger one under the front hood, so carrying luggage is not a problem. An entertaining quality of the Boxster, and likewise one of the best, could be the powered convertible top, that opens and shuts quickly, up to 30 mph. The roof covering is weather-tight, and noiseless with triple-layer sound absorbing cloth tops, and the rear window is heated-glass.

The Boxster is called a mid-engine car, because the six-cylinder engine is located in front of the rear axle, and behind the seats. You can't look under the hood to find it, because you won't find it there. If you want to see the engine, you are going to have to look from underneath. The terrific aspect about having the engine at the car's center is better weight distribution. This is the reason the Porshe Boxster controls so incredibly well.
