Is the Porsche 718 Boxster discontinued?

No, Porsche still makes the 718 Boxster and the two-door Cayman coupé. Over the years, there have been changes made to the trim levels, with the 718 Boxster now available in four differing trims: Base, Style Edition, S and GTS 4.0.

Is the Porsche 718 better than the 911?

The Porsche 718 is a mid-engine coupé or convertible that features plenty of performance and superior handling. It costs less than the Porsche 911, so it's considered a more entry-level option to the Porsche brand. The 911 has more overall power and iconic characteristics that make it more desirable overall.

Is the 718 Boxster fast?

Yes. With the 4.0-litre flat-6 engine, the 718 Boxster can post 0-62 mph times of 4.0 seconds. This engine produces between 400 and 500 horsepower, depending on the configuration. The top speed of the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 is 182 mph.

What is the cheapest Porsche 718?

The Porsche 718 Cayman has a lower starting price than the Boxster, and used models tend to follow the same trend when comparing cars of a similar age, mileage, specification and condition.

Why is the 718 cheaper than the 911?

The 718 Cayman and Boxster are smaller than the 911 and aren't as powerful. The 718 offers room to hold two people, while the 911 can hold up to four people. The Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman allow drivers to experience the thrill and handling provided by the renowned German manufacturer without spending full price on a 911.

Does the 718 have a boxer engine?

Under the hood of the 718s is a four or six-cylinder boxer engine. The boxer engine has a flat and wide configuration that enhances the centre of gravity for better handling and performance.

Used Porsche 718 Boxster buying guide

Engines and transmissions

When evaluating the Porsche 718 Boxster lineup, you'll see a variety of powertrain configurations, with three petrol engine choices and two different transmissions, either a 7-speed PDK automatic or a 6-speed manual.

Petrol

Base models include a 2.0-litre turbocharged flat-4 that outputs 300 horsepower.
An optional 2.5-litre turbocharged flat-4 provides 350 horsepower with a 0-62 mph time of 4.2 seconds.
The top models boast a 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-6 that generates 400 horsepower, allowing for a 0-62 mph time as low as 4.0 seconds.
Fuel economy ratings vary, but the lowest is 25.9 mpg with the standard six-speed base engine.

Practicality

When it comes to high-powered convertibles, there's always going to be a compromise in terms of practicality. Yet the Porsche 718 Boxster can function as a comfortable two-seat daily driver because of its efficiency, ride quality and twin luggage compartments.

Interior space

Two supportive seats with plenty of adjustment options.
Optional leather surfaces increase the luxury.
Well-placed controls are simple to use.

Boot space

Two boots containing room for up to 272 litres: 150 litres in the front and 122 litres in the rear.
Boot space is reduced compared to the 718 Cayman because of the convertible top.
Because of their shape, the luggage compartments won't fit hard suitcases, so it's necessary to travel with soft-sided bags.

Bodystyles

718 Boxster is a two-door convertible and is identical mechanically to the 718 Cayman, which is a two-door coupé.

Safety

Airbags included throughout cabin for greater protection.
High-tech equipment available, such as adaptive cruise control and a blind-spot monitor.
Parking sensors (front and rear) standard on newer models.
Euro NCAP has no safety rating for the 718 Boxster.

Technology

Instrument panel is easy to understand and clear.
Small 7.0-inch infotainment display can be challenging to see.
Apple CarPlay comes as standard, but Android Auto is not available.
