Porsche Boxster for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Supreme handling characteristics, plenty of usable power in "S" format, relatively generous cargo capacity, fast power top operation.

Cons

Costly options push price up quickly, interior not all that impressive considering the price.

What’s new

For 2004, the Boxster S adds a sports exhaust system to the options list. The Boxster and Boxster S are also available in two new colors -- Atlas Gray and Carmon Red.

Edmunds says

A midengine design and classic Porsche styling, not to mention sublime steering and brakes, give the Boxster a unique combination of traits that few cars can match at this price point.

Caution! It's a 12 Year-old Sports Car

David Schwartz, 04/27/2016

2004 Porsche Boxster S 2dr Roadster (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

I recently bought a 2004 S model. It is a really great performing roadster and by far the most comfortable sports car I've owned, and I've owned a dozen of various makes. This car is way faster than most people need and handles like it is on the proverbial rails. The quality of the fit and finish is very high. I'm posting here mainly to advise folks considering one to remember the …

2004 Porsche Boxster 2dr Roadster (2.7L 6cyl 5M)

There are many 2-seater convertibles out there for a variety of prices...most are more affordable than the Porsche Boxster...but none are more fun to own and drive! This vehicle handles incredibly and although it has sufficient power for our taste...the "S" version should provide sufficient power for the most decerning enthusiast. While the Corvettes are slightly faster to 60 mph...you …

I Love My 2004 Boxster!

2004 Porsche Boxster 2dr Roadster (2.7L 6cyl 5M)

I have owned multiple foreign and domestic sports cars and have never owned a vehicle that gives me such pleasure to drive as my carrara white 2004 Porsche Boxster! This car was designed as a modern version of the Porsche 550 Spyder of the 1950s and it is a blast to drive as I'm sure that car was/is. It has the technology to make even long drives comfortable and the Bose sound system …

Definition of a sports car...

M.T., 01/13/2005

2004 Porsche Boxster 2dr Roadster (2.7L 6cyl 5M)

Not only does this car handle incredibly, it fits any driver like a glove and provides them with a much better "feel for the road" than any huge, SUV will ever be able to do. The plain black interior, when accented with aluminum pedals and gauge bezels, is so stunning, that many of my car "afficionado" friends have said it looks better than most other over-blown sports cars. I think …
