2007 Porsche Boxster Review
A slight horsepower bump marks 2007 for Porsche's line of two-seat midengine convertibles. Boxter shares underskin architecture with Porsche's Cayman hatchback coupe. Like Cayman, Boxster has front and rear cargo compartments and horizontally opposed 6-cyl engines. Boxster has a power folding fabric top with heated glass rear window. Base and S trim are offered. For '07, base models gain 5 hp for 245. S versions gain 15 hp for 295. Manual or automatic transmission is offered. The automatic has manual-shift capability via floorshifter or steering wheel buttons. ABS, traction/antiskid control, and side airbag protection for head and torso are standard. Options include a navigation system and Porsche's Sport Chrono Package with a dashboard stopwatch and sensors that modify throttle, traction, and suspension systems to suit racetrack-type driving. Also optional is Porsche's Active Suspension Management with normal and sport settings.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Offering more power and style than typical Sporty/Performance vehicles, Premium Sporty/Performance Cars usually cost much more and have more comfort and convenience equipment. Two-passenger convertibles and four-seat coupes rule the roost in this class.

Our Best Buys are the BMW Z4 and Chevrolet Corvette. Our Recommended picks are the Jaguar XK Series and Porsche Boxster, and Porsche Cayman.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Jaguar XK Series and Volkswagen Eos.
