Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0

How it looks when you see on the street:  The Porsche Boxster is fun on four wheels, and that’s exactly what it looks like on the street. The form language of Porsche is so iconic that we’d argue its subconscious response to the just-right proportions on any variation of Porsche’s 911 or 718 product lineup.

How it makes you feel when you get in: Adventure time! Within minutes of jumping in, stress melts as even on a gray day, the top’s coming off. Simply irresistible.

How it drives: A blip of the gas pedal and you’re off and roaring.

Space for people and things: You don’t drive a Boxster if you’re carrying anything more than a pair of golf clubs or a yoga mat.

Best Features: You don’t need to be a car person to appreciate the appeal of Boxster’s chortling turbo.

What makes it stand out: It’s a design dynamo, pure and simple.

What to compare it to: Some say the Mazda Miata, Chevrolet Corvette or the Jagaur F-Pace, but there’s nothing exactly like it at this comparable price point.

How much does it cost: The base starts at about $64,000. We’d recommend splurging on the S for the decadent performance this looker demands.
