A bit of a spur of the moment purchased, I always dreamed of owning a porker and was looking around for a Cayman but then saw this fully loaded Boxster at a what I think is a bit of a bargain.
Car Spec
2010 Carrera White Gen 2 987 Boxter S 3.4 (Direct Injection)
PDK
Leather
19" Turbo Alloys
PCM Sat Nav
Bose
Sports Chrono
White Colour coded Gear Surround and Roll bars.
First impressions, the car was in top condition with only one significant stone chip on the front bumper
Owner was honest and upfront, it had had had a brake fluid leak which was repaired under warranty and a new back tyres which was surprising as the car had only done 10K miles so I assume it had been tracked. Not too bothered though as these cars are designed to be driven hard.
Review
Although I was looking for a manual, the PDK is a real revelation, its super smooth gear changes and often I am surprised as what gear I am in. Great when stuckin London traffic. Sports Chrono adds launch control which is always fun when you have some road to play with.
Wheels I am told are genuine porsche turbo wheels but were wrapped in Pirelli P Zero which is unusual as I thought porkers came with Michelin Supersports. Anyway this I think affects the ride quality but look awesome.
Bose Sound system, is RUBBISH ! honestly don't bother if you are speccing up the system. I have played around with all the settings the problem in my opinion is that there are two man speakers 11 in total for a such a small soundspace that all you hear is crap. Bass is too boomy the top end sounds tinny.
PCM, once again I wished I hadn't bothered as although it is a capable enought sat NAV you are better off spending your money on getting an Iphone with Tom Tom and fix a brodit proclip to hardwire. It sounds a bit anal but I which that the porsche logo crest would show on screen when you started the car. It just shows this stupid legal disclaimer.
Overall I love my newish porker.. bring on the good weather and that roof is comin off !
