From a person who has driven and owned the base and S since '99 to the present. I have seen all the changes, both ups and downs in the perception of the Boxster. It's nice to watch the Boxster grow into a classic and receive the much due respect it deserves. I will never sell this car, that's how good it is. Porsche's best-kept secret is no longer.

People think its all about speed and horse power, but what this video shows is cornering and connection which exactly what people should look for. Connection with the car you love, with the environment and most of all connection with the people around you. My old man always shot me down when I brought up this car, "it's not a real porsche" only to find out that the boxster line helped in bringing more people in and helping the financial problems that porche was having, that means alot more than just hp. This almost made me cry, very touching video. Buy what you love and enjoy it.

I spent ages looking for a tidy 996... all seemed overpriced and undermaintained. I gave up and got a very tidy 986, for under half my original budget. I have no regrets. Not as quick, but in many many ways I prefer it.

@kriskalpa Год назад

Agree, it is actually the better car but because it is currently undervalued, I think people look down on them. I bought 2 recently because they are so much fun. I find myself lowering the window every time I drive anywhere just so I can hear the engine. It sounds beautiful. A car with 50% of a 996 911 including the engine, with the 993 911 steering wheel, seats and gearshift, for a fraction of their cost.

Tiffani, great job. Major kudos for being so adventurous and a PCA Instructor. I want to inspire my wife to love driving Porsches as much as you do 😄 22 year Porsche owner and have owned 6 different Porsches over the years. My first Porsche was a 1998 986 Boxster. I owned that car 20 years and did an engine conversion to the 996 3.4 liter engine. That little 986, especially with a 320 hp 3.4 liter engine, was a hoot to drive. Even when compared to my 911, the Boxster handled better right out of the box. It's just the turn in advantage and confidence that mid engine cars have over rear or even front engine layouts. I will miss that car very much. Replaced it with a 2008 987 Boxster S. Equally fun, but just a bit more modern and looking forward to owning this one a long time as well. Great Video Magnus/Tiffani. keep up the great work Hagerty

@mcesarey 2 года назад

I've had a 2013 and now a 2017 that I plan to keep for several years. If you're not rich, it's hard to justify the 911 over the Boxster. 80% of the car for under half the price.

@joejoe188 2 года назад

I know wealthy people who have had 911Turbos, to GT3'S and now own a 981 Boxster S and Cayman GT4. Owned for 8 yrs now. Goes to show just because you can afford to own a 911 you don't have to.

@mcesarey 2 года назад

@@joejoe188 Yeah, I feel like a 911 has to be in my future but the 718 easily suites my Porsche needs...everyone who sees it thinks its an $80K+ car, it handles perfectly, it's beautiful...the 911 can definitely wait a few more years

@wokka6850 2 года назад

If you want to become a great driver, start with light weight sports with not a lot of power and learn how to drive it fast. What you learn with a less powerful machine makes you that much better as you transition to move power and its faster way to learn. Jumping straight into a high HP cars will hold you back.

@cameron3934 2 года назад

My first Porsche is a 944. It's more economical than a Boxster, it's more familiar to many being front-engined, and it's impossible to dislike the pop-ups, but the Boxster would feel like a supercar compared to the 944. What an amazing car the 986 Boxster is! From playing it in Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed as a kid to driving Porsches today, I have always loved this car, and will have one next to the my other unpopular Porsche one day, but I think it would have more character with a manual soft top. I'm surprised Magnus doesn't have one yet, considering their affordability. Maybe a 987 Spyder for his first Boxster? ;) Another great video from Hagerty!

I love the 911 but it really has become a GT car in some forms (base, S, GTS) and an absolute supercar in others (GT3, Turbo, Turbo S). I think James May from the original Top Gear said it best: "...the Boxster is what the 911 used to be..." It seems true. Small, light, just enough power, nimble, reasonably priced.

yes, looking for a good low mile light color 986 boxster S w/ triptronic soon ! asa DD and weekend fun car for ssi in law . even made sure Quaife makes a great aftermarket LSD as I understand the triptronic it was not an option w/ them ! seems there are heaps of good moderate cost mods one can make . and lots of vendors to get the parts fr ! we love to make mods and more HP is always a good thing ! what mods would you recommend and in what order ? for us , typically it is tires, brakes , suspension, THEN motor ! on a Boxster S it seems easier tires ? which work best ? michelin ? dunlop ? ?? go to what bigger size wheels ? -huge choice eh ! brakes it, S has upgraded brakes? does it need better still ? what pads are best ? EBC yellow stuff? ( our fave ) yes castrol SRF fluid is a given ! suspension better shocks struts ? brand ? Motor ! mods to do in order ? mild to wild can we just transplant bigger used 911porsche motors ? we like NA naturally Aspirated motors ! 300 -350 HP seems good round # ! 🙂 thx !
