Don't forget to like if you enjoy the video! Thanks

I have a 2007 987 S 3.4 for 5 years now, after a 1999 986 but it puts a smile on my face everytime I look at it, or start it up for a drive... always a fantastic experience... And to my opinion, better drivers car than a 996(911).

because of you..im looking at a first gen 1998 boxster s...........runs great no check engine light new clutch double row ims......no issues no leaks 5k he wants.......im thinking about doing it. here in the states an ims job is around 2500 bukks parts and labor......after that car will be ok.

New sub, from Canada. Enjoyed the video, honest upfront information. I had a 05 Boxster, for 2 yrs, oil service and replaced battery. Then purchased a06 Cayman S, had it for 3 yrs, oil service, brake fluid change, and battery. Just purchased a 15 Cayman S with 14,000 kms, feel like brand new. Looked at the 718 before purchasing the 15, I couldn't agree with you more about the exhaust sound.

Nice video. Thanks. I just bought a 2006 Boxter S. Lots of fun.

Hi finally found a 987 from a garage in Cheshire and bought it , thanks for your videos and advice I love it!!

987s is wrongly understated and looked down upon by those who usually have never driven one and just blindly follow the sterotype or "oh could you not afford a 911" certainly not the case here. All that these cars need is a short shift kit as the factory gear change is pretty poor for such a good drivers car, and my personal choice Z-Rated Performance Friction pads

Totally agree about the Boxster being awesome. I actually have always chosen a Boxster over a 911. I love that it’s convertible, it handles as well as a 911 if not better, and the 2 boots make it more practical so I can fit the golf clubs in! I genuinely don’t know why you’d choose a 911 over a Boxster. Honestly o can’t see it at all. However one point I disagree on is your comments on the 718. It’s awesome. I’ve owned a Boxster in 05-08 and loved it and just bought the 718. It’s faster, more comfortable, more fuel efficient (meh lol!) and overall I think it’s fantastic. Yes the engine isn’t quite as sexy as the flat 7 but there’s far too much focus on this one aspect which isn’t as good. Overall it’s a fantastic car especially for everyday use. Best wishes!

Replacing the gen one IMS bearing decreases but does not completely eliminate it failing. The only fix involves removing the outer seal on the bearing which can be done without removing it. Then replacing the access plate with one with an oil tube that continuously sprays pressurized engine oil on the bearing. You can also update your button shifter steering wheel without replacing it. There is a Porsche approved kit that attaches full sized paddle shifters where the left one down shifts while the right one up shifts. This requires an ECU re-flash which a Porsche dealer does. The kit is made by TechArt.

Seriously considering a 987 S. have an e92 m3 and a Mazda mx5 right now, m3 is crazy fast and refined and the mx5 is just good open top fun. Think the boxster s is a middle ground between fun, performance and quality

I am looking at a gen 2 2010 S next week. I have owned 2 986S and one 987 2.9. Great cars

Bravo.. as a Porsche Boxster owner myself, people always have the remarks to say.. from now on I'll just show em this vid #RitOn

Thanks for the video I usually watch your videos about the arrested Russian super Yachts but I came across this one as I'm looking to buy a 987. Very informative thanks again

These 987 Boxster a absolutely brilliant. I sold my 997 C2s to release funds for other things and bought a 2.7L Boxster and I love it. It sounds great, handles great, although not as fast as the 997 it dies go well. Inside it’s the same as the 997 and underneath it uses the same components just rearranged. It’s cheap compared to a 911 so it’s a poor mans Porsche in that regard but a bargain to those in the know.

smart guy. I've driven a 911 turbo, 911 base convertible, 986 Boxster and now I own a 987 RS60 Boxster. They are all different. Just have fun with them.

I own a porsche boxster s 3.4l and I love it. I did look at the porsche 997 s4 but I did not enjoy the weight on the rear. It did not feel as balanced as the 987. I hope to upgrade to the 981 soon in the future.. The 981 is very good looking..

loved your low key chat about your car, very good man. I have a 2007 I'm looking to buy, thank you

I'm driving a 2006 BMW E85 Z4 and I seriously considered a boxster but the IMS issue just worried me to death. I'm more financially secure 2 years later and I think it's time to roll the dice. I'm thinking a 2009 987 S. I came close to buying a 986 a few years ago. It drove amazing but the paintwork was a bit messed up. A 3.4 would be amazing. Luv and Peace.

Hey man saw this video link on the 6speed online forums. I am also a 987 owner with my own youtube channel! Glad to see others showing their cars!

I actually dont understand the guy, who went to the dealer and was like: "Hey, I want an amazing looking S, with Sport Design Pack, freaking CERAMIC Breaks, PASM, beautiful rims, BUT I'm not ordering the sports exhaust, Sport Chrono and the Sport Seat Plus." These options would have make this car more complete....But still a stunning car, love the look of it with all black and so on :)

Great video. Pleased to hear from a specialist that thé boxster is a real porsche !! Own myself a 986 at the moment and I love it

Thanks for the video

Hi mate thanks I’ve watched your video a couple of times as I’m just about to start looking for a 987 s and changing from my 2010 z4, very informative thanks again

Excellent informative video. Cheers from Canada.

I enjoyed your perspective. Similar position for me, so good to see your decision.

Great video, I'm testing driving a 2007/07 3.4 S Boxster tomorrow with the view to buy. Having seen this video, I'm defiantly looking forward to my test drive. The one I'm viewing tomorrow has all the same spec as your black one excluding the sports body features but does come with the Chrono pack. Like yours it has the 19" rims and ceramic breaks. It's also in silver. Excellent review. Thanks

I bought a new 16 Cayman GTS...I feel like it's not worth the price. But it sure does feel like the ultimate Cayman with highest specs. But to be almost 40% more than an essentials specced S model, I can't say it was worth it

Good video. Thx.

Great video - Thanks for the info. Luv and Peace.

Just got a 2008 RS60 Spyder. I think the Boxster doesn't have the reputation it deserves, thus the prices not as high as Caymans and 911s, these things are great value, specially now that the new ones are turbo 4 engines.

Love it

man great review thank you. I am between 987.2 Boxster S and 981 base model. 987.2 has better specs I guess I will go and pick it after your video. Do you have any recommandation? Thanks a lot

Great video. I traded in my beautiful 95' 968 for a crappy '99 986. Such an unreliable car. It frustrated me. Then in 2008 I traded that for the limited edition orange 987 boxster S. it's nicely specked. The one thing that i am happy with is the sports chrono package. Don't buy one without the sports chrono package. It opens up the exhaust and changes the mapping a bit. Plus the limited edition is said to have a few extra ponies. Dealer says 312 hp with an unconfirmed 6-10 hp on top of that. I don't know how true it is but if makes sense and it feels like it. I thank you for your review as I am focusing on buying the 718 s. I guess I'll have to do a bit more research or buy a tesla lol

Thanks for this nice and very informative video! 👍😀

I put the 987th thumbs up!

Great videos man!

I got a 05 Boxster S in Dec 05, drove it 120,00 miles, then traded for a 981 Spyder. ‘A newer Porsche is a better car but a worse Porsche.’ Now I know why they say that, it’s primarily the hydraulic steering in the 987.

This car is a beauty

Does the Porsche Boxster have a timing belt or chain?

Hi Great video, really like the rear spoiler, makes the car look brilliant Do you know if this is still available Thanks

Can you go over some of the problems or send me a link to common problems

I enjoyed this vid and your 987 is awesome and it's almost my preferred spec .... I'd choose silver. I think this is a prettier car than the gen2 as well, are the panels are identical? I think, more so with Boxsters', when purchasing there are that many potential pitfalls that you have to become a real boffin and you cant afford to have the spontaneity of purchase,so you lose the surprise and delight a lot. Plus you have it hanging over you that a big dint could be put in your wallet at any time.

Nice video, mate!

I have the same jacket ..b17 bomber jacket mate !! Greetings from California..

Hello-You indicated that your 2008 has 1 yr left on the warranty. When it expires, do you plan on selling the car, or getting the IMS replaced for your own peace of mind? Great car and pres mate! Cheers!

I have own a 987.2 and I like ur rear spoiler. is that come original or is modified? can u give me some information if it is a modified one. Thx a lot!

@halcojordan Do you know if the RS60 variants fall into this category?

Mate, very Nice review! Can i ask you the model of the rims ?

Where do you find pieces for upgrading you're Boxster? It's beautiful ! Thx

Is the GT2RS a replica?

Is this still for sale? as i'm in Cheshire and I read a post from 5 months ago.

I think you want to drive a Porsche everyday?

some say the boxter is a poor mans 911

PORSCHE = Proud Original Roadster Sucks Cash Hellishly Expensive
