Miles Overview
The Boxster is Porsche's entry-level roadster, a mid-engine two-seat convertible that shares its DNA with the 911 but costs less to own. With the engine behind you, the Boxster feels balanced and eager; it's the kind of car that makes every on-ramp a little more fun. The cabin is snug but well laid out, and the soft top folds neatly for open-air driving whenever the mood strikes. Owners mention leaking valve cover gaskets and some tricky maintenance spots, but the driving reward makes the effort worthwhile. The Base Boxster is the entry-level roadster, trading the S's 3.2-liter engine for the 2.7-liter and smaller brakes, but keeping the same balanced chassis and mid-engine layout. Its 2.7L I6 makes 217 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque, routed through a five-speed manual to the rear wheels, and you'll see 20 mpg combined at the pump. The Base rides on 16-inch wheels with taller-sidewall tires, which gives a slightly softer ride than the S but still plenty of grip for back-road fun.
