2005 Porsche Boxster Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners love the 2005 Porsche Boxster for its sporty design, impressive handling, and exhilarating driving experience. Many drivers appreciate the car's power and how fun it is to drive, especially on winding roads. However, some mention that maintenance costs can be on the pricey side, and the lack of back seats is a drawback for those needing extra space."
This car is an amazing driver's car, and super fun to drive around. It has power, speed, and terrific handling. The car also has amazing storage space for it's class with two trunks. The only downside is not having back seats, but that is expected.
August 3, 2014Simply a great feeling when driving this car...It's a true roadster. You can't beat the ride, handling and acceleration. If you have never driven one, you owe it to yourself to drive one. I also love driving with the top down...
July 14, 2010Performance - Great performance and handling. Build Quality - Excellent build quality, car feels like new even today. Appearance - conservative interior and exterior styling which slows the ageing process. Cost of Ownership - Acceptable fuel economy considering the performance. Tyres are expensive to replace though. Fun Factor - You cant help but drive it fast in all situations!

October 22, 2009Porsche Boxster is truly a great roadster! The mid-engine design is the best handling of all. Love the flat 6 motor over a 4-cylender turbo...
February 22, 2022Mid engined, 2 seater cab top, Porsche handling, styling and performance. Need I say more!
April 15, 2008Absolutely a joy to drive. The manual transmission is the way to go.
September 30, 2022This car is fast and amazing. Youth will not find a better sorts car. 2005 is the first year of the redesign and it is gorgeous.
September 15, 2021This car was amazing to drive, best convertible Ive ever driven (and Ive owned many--previously my Miata was best handling, but 350Z I owned years ago was best overall roadster). The Boxster has the best handling on a car Ive ever driven, liked it even more than a newer 911 turbo I test drove. Ive already purchased a different one now, a 2006 Porsche Boxster S!
October 25, 2022Really fun to drive and high quality build. Great way to become a member of the Porsche family without spending too much money.
July 17, 2021Love driving it with top down in the open highway. Has plenty of pick up. When called upon, this car delivers. The overall appearance is like falling in love each day I open the garage door. A bit on the pricy side to maintain.
