The model
Read full Porsche 718 Boxster reviewThe Porsche Boxster GTS, with its glorious 4.0-litre flat-six engine, sounds amazing, is sensational to drive and is beautifully built. Put simply, it’s one of the best sports cars on sale. The four-cylinder versions aren't nearly as appealing, but are still far superior to the BMW Z4.
The trim
See full equipmentThe entry-level Boxster comes with very little as standard. You get air-con, Xenon headlights, a six-speaker/110-watt stereo, and a 7.0in infotainment touchscreen with sat-nav, Apple CarPlay, a DAB radio and Bluetooth, but need to pay extra for cruise control or a reversing camera.
The engine
See full engine specsThe entry-level Boxster comes with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with 296bhp. That's enough for 0-62mph in 4.7sec (with the standard PDK automatic gearbox). It's smoother than the 2.5-litre Boxster S, but still sounds rather unappealing. That said, it's the engine to go for if you can't stretch to the GTS.
