Porsche 718 Boxster

FEATURES

Originally conceived as the amuse-bouche of the lineup, the Porsche 718 Boxster—and its coupe twin, the 718 Cayman—has carved out a niche as a mid-engined performer worthy of sharing showroom space with the beloved 911. Even with the base turbo four-cylinder, the Boxster is a sports-car masterpiece, with crisp handling and a superbly balanced chassis. Drop the top to hear the exhaust note, and drink in the sun while you carve up switchbacks like you’re serving them for dinner. While the Boxster is also happy loping along the interstate or running errands, it’s not the most practical thing on four wheels; its usefulness takes a few hits thanks to small cargo areas and limited interior space. Even with those compromises, we can’t help but be charmed by Porsche’s smallest sports car, and it remains a favorite among our staff, winning yet another 10Best award for 2024 as well as a 2024 Editors’ Choice award. – Car and Driver Magazine
