    These are SO quiet without the PSE. That option is a must
  • Had this car, great ride and tons of fun and I appreciated the fact that the ‘13s did not have auto blip, because I wanted to learn to rev match/heel toe myself. Got pretty good at it! Then sold the car last year and upgraded to a 981 Spyder, which is the best car I’ve ever driven. NEVER selling it!

    981 Boxster S is definitely my favorite car I've driven. I would get one in a heart beat. It's easy to drive but feels nice and low and sporty... I could daily it but also could take it to the back roads and have a blast. It does it all.
  • @noone1704
    This is such a great size for a roadster. This on a beautiful mountain road, top down with that soundtrack and the manual...
  • @VK6AB-
    981 GTS with PTV, PASM, PSE, yes best sound and perfect power to weight balance.
  • @qikqbn77
    Love that you are giving the Boxster it's due credit. I own many Porsches and the Boxster is still one of the most satisfying to drive with the top down and tearing up a good canyon road. It's a shame many people will pass it up as "poor man's 911" and will never really know how great and balanced Porsche's mid-engined cars are. Nice review, thanks!
  • @edalder2000
    This is a great cruiser. Comfortable, lots of storage space for a Porsche. Drop the top and hunker down. What I love most about this car is that the gauge cluster and most things are analog in presentation. I love that.
  • @bluroket
    OMG that thing looks brand new, mint!
  • @kludger
    That is a well optioned '13 Boxter S, with the gorgeous yellow/yellow, PASM, Porsche Torque Vectoring, MT6, what a perfect beauty, thanks for showing it off to us. I have a black one, not as well optioned and a lot more miles, but an amazing car I love and will never sell, especially now that the new Boxter is moving to EV.
  • You got the right colour ! Love my 981 GTS Cayman in racing yellow. A true drivers car that turns head and has ageless styling.
  • @Roddy_Zeh
    Sometimes we only learn to appreciate the good stuff after we lose it...nowadays, looking back at what Porsche offered 10 years ago, it was so interesting...
  • It's hard to beat a well-optioned 981S. About to pass 100k miles in my Cayman S after buying it ~4 years ago w/ 23k miles. Passed up an MSRP allocation on a 718 4.0 GTS because I'm so happy with my car already, especially for the price.
  • @mro9466
    what more do you want with a car like this. the handling, the sound, the looks 🥵
  • @tyler9703
    Seeing where the prices are on these right now they are seriously tempting, especially since you'd have to spend like 80-100K at least on a new one to get a flat-6
  • @Nate-zq8re
    Regarding the steering, the EPS can be programmed to use the 991.1 GT3's steering calibration. Forum users on rennlist said it's a big improvement, I will probably try it myself soon
