if u have cash to burn, y not?
hi guys, please give more comments ? really want to know what u guys think of the boxster. thanks in a million.
U buying for looks or performance? If looks the Mercedes SLK is better off. If performance then the Porsche Boxster S. As for detailed comparison, go to sgcarmart.com and compare etc. I'm not so good in that area and neither am i performance crazy
Cheers
well, in my humble opinion, that will depend on how much you like the brand, and if you think the car portrays your personality. But both Porsche and Merc are great cars... Personally I choose and prefer Porsche above Merc, as it has a more 'artas" and having a "young professional" feel to it rather than a slk, which to me seem a more feminine car
BMW M5 same price range ?
best of both worlds ! a 4-door supercar !
erm, dont mind if i ask given a chance would you all buy it?
I have one before.... good grip and handling on the road. The drive feels good and the sensitivity on the steering is a class of its own. Compare to the SLK, the SLK is smoother and the drive is distinctive Mercedes - lots of comfort but no feel of the road handling/ground and power. You would probably not feel the difference if you were driving the C class and the SLK. For me, a sportscar needs to have the feel of the raw power when you need it and the porsche boxster S with 310 BHP provides this adequately.
Most of the comparison for the boxster is always been with the Audi TT. For me, both cars are equally good but at the end of the day, a Porsche is a Porsche. The logo at the front of the bonnet tells all. Moreover, if the car is from Stuttgart Auto, you get to join the exclusive Porsche Club and to improve your driving skills, there is always the Porsche Driving School in Mount Cotton Australia.
yes I will buy the porsche! (If I have the $) haha!
If i were you i will ask this question in Porsche singapore forum. The seat level is lower than RX8 and cannot see the front very clearly (as with most low sports cars) so you might have to adjust to this for the first week or so....(turning might hit kerb if not used to it)
Boxster S is not overly powerful but stability might decrease in wet weather as I previously drove Rx8 and back drifted a couple of times when filter left due to torquey rear wheel drive.
For the same price i would rather get a 2nd hand Lotus Exige which is renowed for its stability and handling when pushed hard...
But you never know until you try driving one!
Should buy Z4! It's more beautiful and elegant and cheaper.
if i got the cash, i will buy it no doubt. one or two years later, change to another car. ![]()
First time in other forum other than buses:
I feel the Boxster as rubbish. View the Top Gear review. U will noe then![]()
Really! Get a BMW or something like that
