Launched in 1996, the Porsche Boxster (now called 718 Boxster) is a dream car for many people. And it deserves the love, offering the German maker’s legendary performance and driving pleasure in a more affordable format that’s also more convenient on a daily basis, and allows you to open the …

Convertible season just started and you're still looking for an affordable model for the summer? Have you thought about a pre-owned convertible? Because many automakers have abandoned this segment over the last decade, you currently have more options when shopping for used cars than new ones. No matter what your …

Thank you, Porsche. Thank you for taking the floaties off of the Boxster's sublime platform and giving it a push towards the deep end of the sports car swimming pool. After years of hamstringing the Boxster in the power department so as to prevent the company's 911 Carrera Cabriolet halo …

When Porsche builds a series of models, it does so very carefully. Kind of like building a house. Every time one is fully revamped, the Zuffenhausen brand first introduces the regular model, which acts as the foundation of the structure. Next comes a more powerful S version with extra equipment.

Interesting fact: As prices for a vehicle category go up, so does the number of models in the category! There are no fewer than 18 models among the convertibles (4 to 5 seats) and roadsters (2 seats) between $50,000 and $100,000! Once you cross the $100,000 mark, you officially fall …

When a car appeals more to your heart than to your mind, it can be very hard to see its faults. You may even find yourself forgiving the vehicle for its price, which all too often falls into the “exorbitant” category. The Porsche Boxster is definitely one of these cars, …

It only makes sense that Porsche - builder of all-weather sports cars like the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S and the Porsche 911 Turbo - would offer a winter driving school for rabid fans of the brand. It would seem to be equally logical to locate that course at Mecaglisse, which …

GENEVA, Switzerland – After two decades of Porsche Boxster excitement, Porsche has come to the 2016 Geneva Motor Show with not only a mid-cycle refresh to it, but a new name and new engine to power its roadster. The Porsche Boxster will now be known as the 718 Boxster, paying …

The evolution of the Porsche Boxster continues, with the German automaker announcing that the base roadster's turbocharged flat four-cylinder will make 300 horsepower—35 more than the outgoing six-cylinder model. Porsche, which announced in December that it was re-branding both the Boxster and Cayman models as the 718 Series , said …

Porsche is re-branding its mid-engine Boxster and Cayman models as members of the 718 Series beginning next year. The German automaker said the Boxster and Cayman will be renamed the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman sometime "over the course of 2016." Porsche said the 718 designation pays homage to the …

For now, Porsche’s nomenclature is simple enough: the iconic 911 (and the 918 Spyder) have a numeric name, while the rest of their lineup – Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan – have more conventional names. This is about to change: for the 2017 model year, the Boxster and Cayman will be …

We thought that Porsche might have seized the occasion to unveil the basic or diesel Macan, but since the New York Auto Show is the last major event before summer, the automaker decided to shine the spotlight on an exclusive version of its popular two-seat roadster. The Boxster has seduced …

When the latest mid-engine Boxster (and its hardtop variant, the Cayman) launched, back in 2012, the sports car’s enthusiasts couldn’t wait for a high-performance version. With the launch of the GTS, the wait is over. The GTS moniker stands for Gran Turismo Sport, and has been used on high performance …

If we are to believe the bimonthly U.S. magazine Autoweek, the revered Porsche brand is in hot water and its reliability is in serious doubt after engine trouble on Boxster and 911 models sold between 2001 and 2005. The major problem affects cars with the 3.4 litre 6-cylinder engine that …

Porsche is bringing back another edition of its popular Camp4 Canada driving program, which aims to teach Porsche owners how to get the most out of their high performance vehicles when faced with the treacherous realities of winter weather. Porsche, which is one of the few sports car manufacturers that …
