I already covered the first generation 986 Boxster in another video, but Today, I’m going to show you why this second generation 987 Boxster is SO MUCH BETTER! I will share with you some of my favorite features, take it for a drive and give you some driving impressions, and in the end I will point out some of the things you should LOOK for if you’re planning on buying one. [Background paragraph on vehicle] So, yes, this model SAVED Porsche from bankruptcy! No, not this one specifically, but the first generation. If the 986 Boxster is the first Fast and Furious movie, you know, dated with poor acting, but very true to the car world, then this second generation 987 Boxster is Furious 7, the best version! You know, maybe not the most technological with the biggest budget, BUT it was the last movie with Paul, which pays tribute to him and it has the best action sequences! Just like this car! If you’re looking for a Boxster, this is the one to have and I’ll tell you why, but first in case you’re wondering why Porsche was almost bankrupt, here’s what happened... You see, by the turn of the 90s, Porsche sales were dropping faster than this top. Their numbers plummeted to a mere 14,000 in the early '90s. At that time, the brand's sole survivor was the 993-generation 911, as the front-engined 924/944/968……………………………………… range had been discontinued. To compound the issue, Porsche was hemorrhaging funds producing these models, as they were hand assembled with very inefficient practices. There are horror stories of workers having to climb up a ladder to gather up parts. That’s just insane! Something had to be done! Taking cues from Japan, Porsche sought inspiration from the success of the Mazda Miata and enlisted ex-Toyota engineers skilled in “Kaizen”, Toyota’s 'just-in-time' production methods. The result was a decision to base all forthcoming Porsche products on a common platform – a seemingly radical move for a company famous for the iconic 911, which was ,as I mentioned, hand assembled. However, the Boxster would forever alter the trajectory of the 911. It introduced a water-cooled engine, a departure from tradition that would eventually find its way into the 996-generation 911. In a nod to the 550 Spyder race car of the 1950s, Porsche positioned the flat-six engine in the middle of the car, rather than all the way in the rear. The base engine in this second generation Bosxter was a 2.7-liter producing 236 horsepower, while the S trim received a 3.2-liter producing 276 horsepower. For 2007, the base Boxster received a revised engine featuring VarioCam Plus and the Boxster S engine was upgraded from 3.2-liter to 3.4-liter. Now here’s why the 987 Boxster is the BEST of them all. The first gen 986 has runny egg headlights, terrible interior, and reliability issues. The 3rd gen 981 has more modern styling which will show its age, it’s bigger, heavier, has electric Power steering, drive-by-wire, and all kinds of electronic safety nannies. While these things make the car safer and faster, they also take away from the driving experience. The 987 has iconic great looks that will age phenomenally, beautiful interior, hydraulic power steering with great feel, adequate power and tight gearing making this car a perfect combo! |
