Newly-developed ‘boxer’ engines deliver more power on less fuel. Displacing 2.9-litres, the engine of the Boxster develops 255 bhp (188 kW) in the Boxster, an increase of 10 horsepower over the prior 2.7-litre model. The 3.4-litre power unit in the Boxster S now features Direct Fuel Injection, and delivers 310 bhp (228 kW), up by 15 bhp. Read on and find more details about this car in London.
All-new flat-six power units displacing 3.6 and 3.8-litres featuring Direct Fuel Injection (DFI), and the option of the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) double-clutch transmission, are particular highlights marking a quantum leap in the car’s development.

Good: Porsche perfection. A 911 for those who find the Turbo version too slow, heavy and cheap.
Bad: There are cheaper ways to kiss your licence goodbye.

Good: An engaging drive. Durable with proper maintenance, which should work out cheaper than with the later 964 version.
Bad: Sometimes a too engaging drive if you don't know what you're doing.

Good: Fantastic to drive. Reliable if you look after it. Safer handling than its repuation suggests.
Bad: Crash damage caused by idiots who don't know how to drive properly.

Good: Best-handling and best-looking of the air-cooled 911s. Keen following among Porsche fans so there's little or no depreciation.
Bad: Good ones are sought-after so prices are high. Floor-hinged pedals won't suit everyone.

Good: Porsche driving pleasure with precise, mechanical feel. Fierce performance yet docile enough for daily use. Solidly built.
Bad: Understeer. Very expensive problems with oil/water contamination and Nickasil bore liners. Noisy drivetrain on four-wheel-drive versions.

Good: Plush 4x4 that's quick and rewarding on the road and very accomplished off it. Originally held its value well.

Good: Porsche has gone and done it and delivered a huge, superfast 4-seater, for family outings when the kids become teenagers.

This is a big, broad (over six feet) and rather squat saloon which isn’t actually ugly, and might be described as interesting rather than beautiful, although its thick pillars and swoopy glasshouse make rear three quarter vision pretty awful.
