5 reasons to buy the 2015 Porsche Boxster
1. Engaging engines
The 2015 Porsche Boxster comes with a few different engine choices, so keep your eyes peeled for the one you want when shopping. The standard engine is a 2.7L with 265 hp, while the S trim has a 3.4L engine producing 315 hp. For extra power, there’s the GTS trim, which comes with a 3.4L engine producing 330 hp, or the Spyder, with a 3.8L engine offering 375 hp. They all come with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, so the only thing to decide is which power level suits you.
2. Insulated soft top
Having a soft top doesn’t always mean having to deal with lots of noise in the cabin. In fact, the insulated soft top for the 2015 Porsche Boxster ensures sound is dampened, keeping the vehicle pleasantly protected from road and wind noise. As an added benefit, the soft top can open and close at driving speeds of up to 31 mph, meaning you’re always ready if the weather changes one way or the other.
3. Stunning interior
One of the most exciting things about the 2015 Porsche Boxster is the driver-focused interior. If you thought it was gorgeous on the outside, wait until you see the cabin. The cabin feels sophisticated and is filled with premium materials. There’s a dramatic center console that’s easy to use, and the seats are comfortable and supportive. The infotainment system within that console has a seven-inch touchscreen, as well as a four-speaker audio system and an auxiliary input for cellphone connections.
4. Four trims
There are four available trims for the 2015 Porsche Boxster: base, S, GTS, and Spyder. Many of the features are the same cross these trims, but the engine changes with each one. However, the 2015 Porsche Boxster has some available features to look out for which can be added to any trim – like leather seats, navigation, and rearview camera – so it’s worth keeping an eye out for a model with these.
5. Swift acceleration
The 2015 Porsche Boxster is known for its performance credentials. This is very obvious when you look at the new GTS trim and its 330 hp, 3.4L engine. If you're excited by exciting acceleration, this trim of the 2015 Porsche Boxster can manage a zero-to-60 time of 4.7 seconds with the manual transmission.
