718 Boxster Roadster (2020-2025)

Can you afford a 2020-2025 Porsche Boxster 718 Boxster Roadster?

The 2020-Present Porsche 718 Boxster (982.2) is a mid-engine roadster celebrated for its exceptional handling, precise steering, and engaging driving dynamics. While initially met with some controversy over its switch from naturally aspirated flat-six engines to turbocharged flat-fours (a change largely remedied by the reintroduction of flat-six options in GTS and GT4 models), it's widely reviewed as a top-tier sports car offering an exhilarating open-top experience. It's famous for its balanced chassis and driver-focused nature. Well-suited for enthusiasts seeking a pure driving experience, spirited weekend drives, and even track days, it remains a benchmark in its segment.

The 2020-Present Porsche 718 Boxster typically has higher operating costs due to premium fuel requirements and specialized maintenance, including more frequent fluid changes and tire replacements for high-performance vehicles. Reliability is generally strong, but out-of-warranty repairs can be expensive. Insurance costs are usually elevated given its status as a luxury sports car. There are no unusual maintenance or reliability concerns counter to common perception, though parts and labor are pricier than for a standard vehicle.
