2008 Porsche Boxster Review, Pictures & Video
Only the best sports cars come from German automaker Porsche and the 2008 Boxster model is a prime example of what Porsche is capable of producing. The Boxster comes in regular trim, S trim and a limited edition of both of these. The Boxster gests a standard 2.7-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine that can make 245 horsepower and the S-trim gets a 3.4-liter that can make 295 horsepower; both engines have VarioCam Plus for variable valve timing. The 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual and 5-speed automatic transmission are available with overdrive. The automatic features an auto-manual feature.
The sleek and stylish design of the Boxster is specially designed to optimize all airflow for maximum performance. The curving front air ducts channel the air to cool the engine radiators; the directional spoilers then pass it to the brakes to cool them off. The large intakes on the front and rear also help the airflow work in the sports cars favor even more. The smart design sits on standard 17-inch quality wheels, while the S trim gets a further impressive 18-inch wheel set. There are other wheels available as options. The retractable convertible top is the cherry on the top. In 12 seconds, your convertible or optional hard top can provide you with an open or closed cabin.
The cabin pampers two inhabitants in an interior that features a larger amount of space. There are standard leather-upholstered bucket seats that can be electrically adjusted to give the occupant that perfect fit. There are other comfort-orientated seats are available. Speaking of comfort, the 2008 model is completely stock piled with it! The interior is spoiled with commodities such as climate control, a Bose® Surround Sound audio System, heated seats, MP3 capabilities, water-repellent side windows and more!
Amidst all of this is an impressive set of safety equipment. Along with the usual front airbags are side-impact and head-protection airbags. The other safety features the 2008 Boxster carries include an electronic stability system, tire pressure monitoring, antilock brakes, Bi-Xenon lights and an intelligent alarm system that uses radar to protect against theft.
The driver is provided useful touches as well. The LCD screen that rests just under the dash allows the Navigation system to give visual direction displays. In addition, the onboard computer will offer the driver various vehicle diagnostics such as average fuel consumption, how many miles until the gas runs out and more. Other optional features to improve the driving experience include Park Assist, a hands-free mobile system and an electronic logbook.
This is one sports car that you don’t want to miss out on!
