Great review - well done and keep it up! I look forward to hearing about your new Boxster when it arrives 👍🏽

Thank You!! This is the only video I can find comparing the Boxster to the M2 or M240i.

New Boxster Spyder looks and sounds awesome

Awesome review and on point for me since I also want to replace my F87 with a Boxter. Although I am going to tune this engine and install a down pipe.

Nice one just subscribed, I run a Porsche channel so a little biased but I think you need the 981s or 4.0 718 to swap from an m2. 718 drives awesome but you would miss the i6.

Great video.

great vid,

Finally Paul, the new car! It's perfect in every way, but one...that sound. Look forward to your usual quality updates next year on what its like to live with. You get extra points for a manual transmission.

Yes, the sound, the sound, but come on finally I have to say it -- this is so UNFAIR. Alpine? Oh, such a perfection, the best! And this and that. I have never ever seen in *any* review anyone complaining about Alpine sound. To the degree that I expected it to be better than 718s. And then I test drove... Let me tell you this: if 2/3s of 911 engine is sooo bad and sounds soo bad, then why no one complaints about Alpine's Renault 1.8 engine that not only sounds like shit but is shit. For Jesus Christ sake we're comparing proper Porsche engine taken from 911 and downsized to the engine that was taken straight from Megane save for a couple changes. For *the same* price! Public doesn't know this, but 718 sounds just so much better that Alpine. And somehow reading and watching reviews there are people out there cancelling 718 to get Alpine. Based on unfair reviews. This is nuts! The anger is due to 4-cylinder sports Porsche. This sounds like oxymoron and makes people laugh and ridicule. Renault making 4-cyl engines sounds about ok. That's the reason why. The engine is downsized 911 engine and sounds and delivers fantastic!

Great video! In the Netherlands the Porsche 718 Boxster T € 98,700.00. BMW Z4 sDrive 30i.Model M Sport.€ 71,672.44. I can't see the additional €27k justification for the Porsche at all.

Damn. That's a huge price tag for the Porsche. You can get a GT4 for that cash over here

I’m seriously considering this over the GTS. Don’t laugh! I want to change gear more. I’m worried I’d be hugely frustrated driving a GTS that can stay in 2nd gear most of the time.

Great review. I’d go for a 981 cayman or boxster over the 718 every time because of that sound.

Is the sound really that important? Reason being I am contemplating selling my C63s for a 718 Cayman S.

718 Styling, equipment and manners are excellent. The change to a flat 4 is the letdown. NA flat 6 in the 981 was such a great engine.

It was a fantastic engine makes glorious sound but being a NA engine it does not benefit from tuning potential. That's why Porsche had to bring 4 litre flat six engine for 718 to beat 2.5 turbocharged four pot.

Would highly recommend a Boxster S or GTS. The power difference is quite significant.

The S is only better than this is you spec the wheels, PTV, PASM and Chrono etc. I’d take the handling over the extra 50hp.

All day anyday bro.

Everyone's different, but I couldn't give up my M2's glorious sound and amazing acceleration for the Boxster T. Love the looks of the Boxster, interior kills the M2, but my M2 isn't my daily driver, it's for when I want to go out canyon carving and driving, um, aggressively... That means putting petal to the metal and feeling the car shoot forward and scream! Just not sure if a discount Boxster is a step up from the M2, but to each their own!

@TunedIntoCars

Why would you call it a discount Boxster? Anyway. I can't disagree with you regarding power & sound, the M2 has that. Hard to beat those with a 4 cylinder... But everywhere else, the Boxster (to me) feels superior. Damping, steering, driving position, transmission, etc. And I personally prefer a great handling car to a fast one. And like I've said in some comments below, I can always go for the previous Boxster S, with the flat-six and... problem solved :) We'll see, next spring I'll decide.

That's an amazingly affordable price for what should be a fantastic car! I love Porsches, but you really need to open your wallet to get one with serious oomph... couldn't see getting a Porsche that takes nearly 5 seconds to get to 60.

Not worth replacing. Just buy one next to it so you have a coupe and a cabrio. At least i have and m2 and will not sell it but i plan on buying a boxster next to it. Just cannot decide about which one, s or t or gts.

Yes. Yes it can.

I'm gonna buy it If you really like it I trust you :)

Another tool who bags the sound honestly the only great sounding Porche is any GT3 car The 718 especially pre 2018 car sounds amazing how often are you tracking your car On my way to work the 718 sounds amazing and on the open road no drama These KZread guys except for a small few talk rubbish Now get back in your KIA and have a great day!
