Why the Porsche 987 Boxster Spyder is so much fun!

The 987 is last of the modern surgical blade precision cars you can buy. The drop top plus the razor sharp dynamics is one pure motoring experience

I‘ve got a 987.1 S since 2009 and I still enjoy it, although I drive 600hp cars at work every day. I just enjoy starting the car, driving away without clicking 5 popups on the screen. I don‘t need systems that control my ride. The new Porsche 718 are better cars for sure, but I don‘t like touchscreens and digital rev counters and other instruments.

Incredible car, incredible video MF. 987 Spyder has really flown under the radar, but is emerging as a true classic. Mid-levels of horsepower means you need to drive it harder, and the chassis delivers so much when you do. And frankly, that’s what makes the car so damn fun.

987 Spyder is best of them all, beautiful hydraulic steering, manual if optioned, 1275kg and its smaller dimensions make it so easy to place and hustle along on UK b roads.

Actually the 987 Gen 2 Spyder or the Gen 2 Boxsters/Caymans were the first to get the PDK. Most 987.2 Spyder owners optioned the PDK at the time which is a pity as the MT box is so much engaging to drive. I own one with an MT.

The spec of that spyder... *kisses fingers* absolutely stunning.

Like I said, you're definitely in the right part of Canada to enjoy a Spyder

Thank you for that super review. The fact that you have experienced the later two versions really adds something credible. I have the same opinion regarding this being the best sports car I have ever driven. Thank you again & Bravo...

Great to see you in Canada! Enjoy

Know(n) a few 987 spyder owners . They all love them . At around £45k, absolute sports car bargain. Relatively rare , decent performance. Given the folding carbon buckets are £8k USED 😱. Definitely worth seeking out that spec

Absolutely love the 987.2 Spyder!! Wonderful Video of this gorgeous Spyder on the infamous Sea 2 Sky, Well done!! 😎👍

For me, best part of 987 spyder is that roof. It’s unbelievably convenient if you can just take off the weather shield at the back. It’s the best driving mode for extremely hot or cold weather. I’ve heard a few people put 987 spyder in direct comparison with gt3, would you let us know more about the similarity and difference between these 2 cars?

Always nice to see your "backyard" in a video. Welcome to BC! I take my 1989 944 S2 up and down the sea-to-sky on a regular basis. It's a truly beautiful bit of road though the traffic can be heavy. If you head north of Whistler and then beyond Pemberton, there are some great twisty mountain roads though likely to be snowy this time of year.

Incredible car and great vid as always!

What a nice review. Beautiful car thanks for bringing it to us.

I'm from Vancouver! Welcome and hopefully you enjoyed your stay.

Good luck there 🙏

Thanks for the video, love this car, agree with all your points, true legend, just need a garage to put it in.

Stunning car, stunning location, great video.

Great car!

Sounds amazing, it must have been very addictive! Beautiful scenery MF, hope you’re having a good time across the pond

Beautiful car mark , Definitely a car Worh buying now as a keeper I can only see these going up in value over next 10 years , they just don’t make cars like this anymore , a real driver fun machine…

03:32 The 987 Spyder actually came offered in PDK and manual.

Waiting for drag 🏁

Nice video and a lovely car. Question tho......987 Boxster spyder or 981 GTS which do you prefer??

I am viewing a 987 S tomorrow in Aqua Blue

As an owner for a few years, I have said to many I'd never sell it after 5 minutes. Mine is pretty stock 6M, LWB's, Short Shift, no A/C, and not even PSE which I probably would've enjoyed even though stock exhaust note is great. Just like the 981 with the "best sound" and 718's with so much power, I don't drive "sound" and there is such a thing as horsepower driveability. What is huge HP good for if you cannot use most of it?

Is this stock exhaust or PSE? Any other engine mods?

‘One of the best sports cars you’ve ever driven’ - high praise indeed given your garage and driving cars repertoire! You have owned (or driven) each Spyder and now have the 718… Given one to keep which would it be? I loved the 981… The sound was incredible… Owned 4 years Then had the 718 (3 years) - was a better drive, faster, but sounded absolute rubbish (until I put a jcr on it). Still didn’t quite match the 981 sound though. Never driven the 987… So is the 987 Spyder the one to have??? (Maybe with an exhaust upgrade?)

What roof?

@888MF is the spyder owner of Aqua interested in selling by any chance?

You bought the wrong one twice. You should have bought this model

S2K is a better roadster.
