2007 Porsche Boxster Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a reviewFor 2007, the Porsche Boxster delivered more power and acceptable fuel efficiency - the true measure of a 21st-century sports car. Engines for both the 2007 Boxster and Boxster S mid-engined roadsters received VarioCam Plus, which continually adjusts valve timing for optimal performance.
The standard Boxster received a 2.7-liter, flat six-cylinder engine that produced 245 horsepower, while the Boxster S was powered by a 3.4-liter six-cylinder that pumped out an impressive 295 horsepower. Both engines were located behind the passenger compartment but ahead of the rear axle, hence the mid-engine designation.
The Boxster base trim came with a standard five-speed manual transmission linked to a hydraulic clutch (the S trim had a six-speed manual standard), while an updated five-speed Tiptronic S automatic/manual transmission, with new hydraulics and electronics, was available as an option on both.
Features included a three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, power windows, power exterior mirrors, a climate control system, an on-board trip computer, and a digital in-dash AM/FM stereo system with a CD player. Antilock braking, a central locking system with remote, 17-inch Boxster wheels, an automatic extending rear spoiler, and Porsche's Stability Management system were also part of the package.
In addition, the Boxster was equipped with a lightweight, sound-insulating convertible top that opened and closed in 12 seconds. It came with a heated glass rear window and could be operated while moving at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. Options included Park Assist, automatic climate control, a Bose surround sound system, a six-disc CD changer, a three-part Windstop wind deflector, and an aluminum hardtop.
Drivers and reviewers noted that the Porsche Boxster was a fun car to drive, with good balance, a well-appointed interior, and plenty of power when you needed it.

Awesome car. Fun to drive . Hugs the road. Fast a ton of pick up, very responsive . Like the fact the top can come up or down on the fly provided you are under 30 mph. Love the color combination exterior and interior .May 08, 2014

2007 Boxster S comes with 3.4L flat six and cranks out 298 hp. It can do 0 - 60 in about 5 secs. Engine is powerful and flexible and it sounds glorious, yet it is not too loud which can be tiresome after a while.
Gearbox and clutch is excellent. Clutch feel is very good and light. Gearbox is smooth and clearly defined. If you miss a gear shift, it is your fault.
Steering and brakes are pure Porshe. It's just about as good as it gets.
Handling is very well balanced due to its mid-engine configuration with 50/50 weight distribution. Boxster will blow away 911 if Porsche gave it the same power. But they are not going to jeopardize highly profitable 911 line by letting its little brother outrun it.
Boxster S is one of the best sports cars in the world.Jun 20, 2013

Injured my back after one tank of gas. Well, my back was already bad, but it made it so much worse. Tragic because I LOVE driving this car. When I bought it, I thought I would be driving it for the next 10 years.Jan 19, 2013

Amazing Sport Car.
And a Chick Magnet ;)
fast, and stable , and respected.
elegant, and reflects a personality on the streets.
price is very reasonable, for a car like this.
convertible is the best part.

Performance - 3.4L 295bhp is gives you enough thrust in
most town and highway driving situations in Japan.
Build Quality - Beautiful leather trim. The car feels firm-
caged and rattle-free despite a convertible body.
Appearance - Like the front. Not much at the rear.
Cost of Ownership - Nothing failed in 30,000km. Logs
10km/L on highways. 6km/L on city driving.
Fun Factor - Get the roof down and even a quick ride to
the Seven-Eleven around the corner gives you a smile.Sep 05, 2009

i like everything about this car and want to own one. i like a maxda rx8 that a really good car. 231 bhp and over 10,000 rpm all though you will need a powerful engine so get the biggest. the porsche is brilliant and over the past years of buildiing porsche its model has not changed. but the question is WHY. they have not changed it because its a fantastic and theres no need to changed it.Aug 13, 2009

I believe that the reviews given by the respected car magazines have done a good job already. Read up on it. Owning one is even better, as you get to know the car and become familiar with its handling capabilities.
I confess I was not a Porsche guy. I was more into BMW cars. I still love them, but I am now enlightened as to what a Porsche is. Think of who owns them and what their other choices in life are. If you think about that, the consistency there describes the essence of these cars.Jan 10, 2009

Its a wonderfull thing walking into a Porsche garage, if you've ever got a spair couple of hours-just walk in and walk around-take a seat in one; its fun-if your a sad man like me;-) I don't know where to start really-they say that Porsche designers are the laziest car designers in the world. Looking at the Boxster, particularly the Mark2-the one I have-you can trace the lines back to the 550 Spyder (the one that got the better of James Dean), but if you look at the 550 Spyder you wonder why they hadn't done it before.
I think the days of old where you used to see yuppys driving round in their Porsches down the King's Road or Fleet Street with their whacking great brick mobile phones are over. Ostentatiousness has become the byword for Ferrari drivers, Pagani Zonda drivers and even those TVR drivers etc.........whilst in this time Porsche has become more refined-more subtle, your more likely to blend into the crowd in a Porsche these days-its become what Mercedes was for the executive car sector ten years ago-a mark of subtle quality over the riff-raff BMW-Ferrari drivers trying to show off their wealth and lack of taste.
Enough pontificating about the brand-the car is solid, I drove the BMW Z4 and felt it was in a car made out of tin foil-the Boxster feels solid but agile, you know you could take a bump in it but at the same time you feel you got the power and the agility to get out of a situation. The engine develops 245bhp from a 2.7 liter engine which gives it enough power but not excessive amounts and even then you got double the Bhp of any Golf Gti. After 50years of making rear wheeled sports cars Porsche engineers know how to solve handeling problems, this just handels like a dream.Mar 16, 2008

"Perfect Fit" for everyday use. This car is a great middle of the road sports
car. It's no way near 911 or Lotus handling, but it's definitely a cut above
your average sports car. Great for daily driver, easy on the pocket book as
it gets decent mileage and puts a smile on your face while running around
town. Interior is very comfortable, top goes up/down smoothly and all
controls are in perfect alignment.Mar 02, 2008

It's a good looking car with great performance. Has a 3.2 litre F6 engine with 295bhp and a top speed of 270kmh. It isn't too quick though. Overall it's a great ride but lacking general perforemance for a Porsche.Jan 10, 2008
