Porsche Boxster

The Boxster’s power comes from 2.5, 2.7, and 3.2-liter flat-six engines mounted centrally just behind the passengers. This ensured perfect road holding and weight distribution. When it was launched, car magazines praised the Boxster for its handling and precise steering. Those qualities still stand true today (via Porsche).

With the power output ranging from 204 to 260 hp, 0 to 60 mph times of less than seven seconds, and a top speed of 160 mph, the Boxster is capable. It has two trunks, one in the back and one in the front. This roadster is practical, too. Who needs an expensive 911 when you can have a first-generation Boxster that drives just as nicely and has the same driving feel for less than $15,000 in pristine condition?
