Boxster GTS Roadster (2014-2016)

Can you afford a 2014-2016 Porsche Boxster Boxster GTS Roadster?

The 2014-2016 Porsche Boxster GTS (981) is a celebrated mid-engine roadster, lauded for its exceptional driving dynamics, precise steering, and sonorous naturally aspirated flat-six engine. Reviewers consistently praised its balance, engaging handling, and daily usability, often calling it a purer driver's car than its 911 sibling. It's famous for being a driver-focused enthusiast's car, offering a sublime open-top experience. In today's context, it remains highly sought after by enthusiasts for spirited driving, weekend trips, and as a collectible modern classic due to its last-of-its-kind naturally aspirated engine.

The 2014-2016 Porsche Boxster (981 generation) is generally reliable, but being a luxury sports car, operating expenses are higher than average. Routine maintenance, like oil changes and brake services, will be more expensive due to specialized parts and labor. Major services, such as spark plug replacement or PDK transmission fluid changes, can be costly. Insurance premiums tend to be higher given the vehicle's performance and value. While not prone to widespread reliability concerns, any repairs, if needed, can be expensive due to Porsche-specific parts and diagnostic tools.
