Replacing my aging s2000 was difficult. Buying the RS60 was easy. There was no comparison. Price of admission was high, but the Porsche selectable suspension system coupled with smooth kick in the pants engine power, killer brakes, handling, and selectable exhaust makes an enthusiast dream come though. The car felt like home immediately. Rare and beautiful gray interior and that classic exterior makes my tail wag when the garage door opens. At 6 ft plus plenty of room and comfort. Bose system sounds very good when I am not listening to that beautiful exhaust note. Fit and finish is fantastic and having two trunks is even better. Ride comfort superb. It is a sensational auto that is a blast.

Stunning looks and performance to match. Sold my 2001 Boxster to get this one. The RS60 is light years ahead. I was surprised at the amount of improvement over what I thought was an already outstanding vehicle. The RS has the 303hp engine and it goes like a scalded cat. Passed my wife on the interstate at xxx mph and she said it sounded like we were at the racetrack. Handling is scarcely believable, especially in sport mode. Acceleration is unexpectedly strong, like being tied to the space shuttle. It's a little slippery on wet roads, but stable unless you do something seriously juvenile. The brakes: phenomenal, really kind of otherworldly in their ability to get you to zero in a hurry.

I have owned a 2001 Boxster, a 2013 Boxster S, a 2018 Boxster, a 2014 Boxster, and now a 2008 Boxster RS 60. The RS 60 is my all time favorite. The mid engine balance, the low center of gravity, the sport suspension and the sport exhaust note make the RS 60 my all time favorite. That is not even counting the red interior with the white gauges and the sport chronometer or the razor sharp steering. The seat bolsters put you in a comfortable driving position. Yes there are lot of buttons but you will sort them out. The stereo and the audio are less than great but turn up the exhaust note and you will forget all about them. The fit and finish on this car fifteen years later is still terrific. So is the drive or the race or the road trip. As much as I liked all the other Boxster editions the RS 60 is my first choice. If you can get your hands on one, don't let go.

I bought a certified pre-owned RS 60 spyder with 30K miles, 2.5 years old, and paid $41K at a dealership (wrnty good to 100K mi or June 2014). The design, performance, fit&finish, and overall driveability are phenomenal. The sport exhaust is absolutely AWESOME!!. I love driving this baby through tunnels with the top down--the sound just stirs the soul! Many you tube videos exist that give nice reviews of the car, but for some reason none really capture the sound all that well. You really have to drive it to hear and feel it adequately. After researching "fun" cars for years, I feel that I couldn't have made a better choice for overall performance and value.

The RS 60 is a limited edition Porsche with the extra touches that make it a special car. It has 303 Horsepower and Brembo Brakes and two trunks along with a full leather interior and a Bose sound system. The seats have the Porsche crest and the instrument cluster with the white dials gives the interior a racing look. The number of your very limited edition is posted on a plaque over the glove box. Nineteen inch tires and the Porsche active suspension management keep the car glued to the road. If you are able to get your hands on one find the twistiest road you can and attack those curves. See for yourself. And take the long way home.
