Boxster, everyday use

The other day, I was asked to write an article titled "How far can GT3 be used on a regular basis?I wrote an article about the verification of the 981 Boxster GTS.

To what extent can the Porsche 911 GT3 be used on a daily basis?

Well... as for the Boxster, I know I don't need to try it to know that I can use it on a daily basis.How different is it from GT3?I wanted to make sure I was doing it right.

Boxster / Ride quality

First, let's talk about the ride.The ride quality of the Boxster is quite good.It is a sports car, so even though it is basically hard, it is very supple. Of course, the Panamera and the Cayenne are smoother and more luxurious, but I think this ride is totally fine for a sports car.

Many times more supple, smooth and comfortable to ride than the GT3.(Is it any wonder?)

There is no particular sensation of being hit by the impact of rough road surfaces, nor is there any uncomfortable pounding. However, there is no uncomfortable bumping up.The Boxster was much stiffer when it was delivered.The car has been running for almost 40,000km, and has gradually become more supple as it has been driven over long distances, on mountain passes, and on circuits.

And as for the ride, my husband said

It's even better now that I have Pilot Sport 4S tires.

so tires may have a significant impact.

(2) Boxster / Car stop

The Boxster is a sports car, so when I park it, I try to park it just in front of a stop sign.That said, there is no need to be as nervous as in GT3.

The GT3 has a diffuser fin under the rear that sticks out quite a bit, but the Boxster does not, so you can just pull over normally before the stop sign.

On this particular day, there happened to be a 911 parked next to me, but when I looked at it, I saw that it was parked right on the edge of the lot.

I guess it's not as bad as it seems!(I suppose it depends on the height of the parking garage stop.)

Boxster / Steps

."Whether or not you can go over a step.As for the "I don't have to worry about it", the Boxster doesn't have to worry about it. There don't seem to be many places where you can't go, such as supermarkets, convenience stores, parking lots, etc.

The parking lot in the neighborhood where we rent a parking space has a step up when you enter the parking lot.

If it's not that much of a step down.There's no need to be particularly nervous, and if you're concerned, just enter slowly at an angle and you'll usually be fine.I think.

4) Boxster / Luggage

The Boxster is a two-seater convertible.It may look like it would not be able to carry much luggage at all, but surprisingly, it can carry quite a bit.Since the Boxster is MR (midship) and the engine is located near the center of the body, two trunks can be secured at the front and rear.

There's certainly not a lot of room for luggage in the car, butThe front trunk is quite large, and this one is deep enough to fit an M-size suitcase.

On this day, I packed a bag of groceries and a child's jacket, but there was still plenty of room.

Incidentally, the trunk in the back is a little smaller and looks like this because our family keeps body covers and road equipment in it.

Also, and this is just me...I have to move the seat forward quite a bit to reach my feet on the clutch, which leaves quite a bit of space behind the seat.It is convenient to put jackets, etc. here. However, when my husband rides, there is no space at all, so this space is only available when I ride.

Please refer to another article that examines whether or not luggage can be packed in the Boxster.

The trunk of a Porsche Boxster can hold quite a bit of stuff - even a suitcase!
