Pros: What do you like about 2009 Porsche Boxster?
I own a 2009 Boxster S and it is perfect.
Exceptional speed, with PDK, whether from a standstill or to pass.
Well balanced on curves.
I love the LED running lights and tail-lights.
The exhaust notes are so pleasing that even with the top up, I'm forced to keep the windows cracked in order to enjoy the melodies coming from behind my ears.
Extremely practical for everyday driving with two trunks.

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Porsche Boxster?
Even though it is a premium system, the BOSE surround sound entertainment system is somewhat lacking.
Compared to my 2003 Boxster S, there's less interior storage.

2009 Porsche Boxster Review:
A great sports roadster. I wish Porsche would tune it for improved acceleration. Perhaps turbocharge the 3.4 liter flat 6? Unfortunately, with its better handling and intentionally-limited performance, it would cannibalize 911 sales.

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Porsche Boxster?
Almost everything. In my opinion it is the ideal sports car. I wouldn't say it is really fast but it is very quick. To me the essence of owning a sports car is the shear enjoyment factor. Put the top down, take some winding road and feel the car perform, hit a straight away and hammer down. The exhaust note is incredible and there isn't a better feeling in the world.

Porsche understands what a true driver really wants and this car captures it all more than perhaps any other car in the world. For me this is the best sports car in the world..... and it is actually a great bargain when looking at overall value for what it costs.

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Porsche Boxster?
Some folks still say the Boxster is not a "true porsche". I think they mean not a 911.

2009 Porsche Boxster Review:
Clearly one of the best sports cars in the world.
