For Sale: 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster in Anaheim, California

The Boxster starts with a turbocharged 2.0-liter 300-hp flat four, which the Boxster S kicks up to 2.5 liters and 350 hp. Both models come standard with an excellent six-speed manual gearbox, and both can be equipped with Porsches outstanding seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. It sprints from zero to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, making the most of Porsches quick-shifting PDK seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The Boxsters handling and steering prowess are the characteristics that most inspire our affections. It feels balanced and stable through corners, while the brilliantly communicative steering reacts quickly and accurately to even small inputs. The Boxsters cabin is compact and well organized, but drivers may find themselves disappointed in the materials. It has the kind of plastic that can be found in far less costly cars. But more leather is available for an instrument-cluster cover, center-console lid, and door-panel trim pieces. And the new GTS model brings with it some additional interior design flourishesfaux-suede fabric is used on the seats, steering-wheel cover, and armrests, and the GTS logo is prominently embroidered onto the headrests. Theres plenty of space for two in the Boxster, although in-cabin storage is seriously lacking. But at least there's the flexibility of both front and rear cargo compartments.
