The Porsche Boxster offers an affordable entry point to the German brand's line-up of high performance sports cars. This two seat roadster comes in base (265 horsepower) and S (315 horsepower) editions, and both can be had with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission. The Porsche Boxster S reaches 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, and it also comes with a track-ready suspension package that makes it the more rambunctious of the two models.
