Ratings & reliability

Customer ratings

5 out of 5

6 customer reviews
The 2013 Porsche Boxster is lauded for its exceptional performance, nimble handling, and sleek design. Drivers find its responsiveness and braking top-notch, though rear visibility with the convertible top up and high maintenance costs are drawbacks. Limited interior and cargo space may challenge practicality, but the engaging driving experience makes it a standout choice in its class.
