We say A driver’s car, with typical Porsche class and performancePerformance The Boxster Spyder’s 306bhp 3.4 petrol engine is excellent – 60mph comes up in 5.1 secondsEmissions 221g/km CO2 is about par for the course, but a combined fuel economy of up to 29mpg is decent for the sector.Driving The Boxster Spyder isn’t the most comfortable car on the road, but handling is fantastic. It’s well balanced and performs as good at low speeds as it does at the national speed limit. No noticeable drop-off in performance with the roof down.Feel Engine sound great, but stays smooth until really pushed. For a car with a canvas roof, wind and road noise is shut out extremely well.Space Very spacious for a roadster, with plenty of space for two and useable luggage space at 280 litres.Equipment Base models get alloy wheels, climate control and electric roof.Price Boxster Spyder is priced well and residuals are fantastic. Running costs are better than some rivals.Quality Solid Porsche build quality and materials, fit and finish is superb. Porsche has a great reliability record also.Safety Six airbags and stability control come as standard.Pros Top build quality, great engines, spacious.Cons Expensive.Alternatives TT, BMW Z4, Mercedes SLK, Nissan 370Z Roadster
