TO THE POINT What's New? New engines in the Porsche Boxster and Boxster S make them more powerful and quicker than ever before
Selling Points: Speedy roadster with classic Porsche lines; mid-engine layout; terrific handling; room for a weekend’s worth of luggage
Deal Breakers: Options are pricey
Our Advice: What could be wrong with a good-looking, quick and great-handling car whose sole purpose is to delight and thrill? Plus, it shares a lot of technology with the legendary 911 and fantastic Cayman. Besides a big sticker, there are fewer and fewer reasons not to buy this car.
