Daily Slideshow: Why the 987 Boxster is the Perfect Daily Driver

Affordable Supercar

The 987 isn’t going to rip the Ring in less time than the GT2 RS, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have all the base ingredients of a brilliant supercar. Mid-engine, rear wheel drive, and light weight are all things found in high-end cars that command 4 or 5 times the price tag. These cars feel like miniature supercars due to incredible handling and fingertip precision.

Excellent Ergonomics

Interiors on the Boxster are simple and well thought out with controls that are intuitive to use and simple. Shutting traction control off is one button that doesn’t require scrolling through menus or any kind of trickery. It’s a simple, straightforward car that does what you ask it to without complexity.

Price on Point

When these cars first came out, MSRP was listed around $50,000 USD. In just 6 years, you can now find them for the same price as a new Subaru. They are incredible value for the money when you consider how much mid-engine cars typically sell for, especially ones of this quality. Everything about these cars is tight and solid with a heavy emphasis on the driving experience.

MPG is Great

30 miles per gallon on the highway is not what you would expect from a car that is this exhilarating. Porsche covered all of their bases when designing this car and its ethos protrudes into every aspect of the design. Few cars that are this much fun can claim over 400 highway miles on a tank of gas.

Spacial Awareness

You’re not going to take 5 of your buddies to Vegas in the 987, but that’s missing the point. As a machine, the Boxster makes you feel great even when you’re standing still. Stuck in traffic they are luxurious enough to ease your mind away from L.A. traffic and even have enough space in the trunk(s) to fit most of your day to day necessities.
