The Final Drive Away
THE BEST PORSCHE?
Published on April 29, 2013
Balance is the Boxster's party piece. Its weight
distribution gives you so much confidence
to hurl it around a little that you can get car-
ried away. It feels so planted that I'm pretty
sure that physics has simply skipped over the
Boxster. Its steering is the same electrome-
chanical system you'll find in the 911. This is
no bad thing. Y'see, while purists complain
that it's not as precise as the old cars', I'm
99% certain that most people simply won't
notice there's been a change. The only rea-
son they're complaining is because someone
else has, based on a race driver/handy wheel-
man's opinion, said it wasn't quite as good as
the older version.
One final point on the Boxster, and it's about
its looks. The rear deck reminds me of ice
cream. No idea why. It just does.
