Other than cupholders the Boxster has always been extremely functional for a 2-seat roadster. Its deep front cargo area and surprisingly accommodating rear luggage compartment offer enough room for a 19-inch computer monitor, extra tall PC tower and all the peripherals, with space to spare for a video camera bag, full-size tripod and assorted bag of wires and cords - I obviously tried this specifically. Porsche has made the two trunks even easier to fill by allowing remote access. Behind the seats is a double-sliding door that opens up a useful bin for paperwork, books and other items. You want more? New for 2003 the 2-seater gets the 911's dash mounted glovebox, adding yet more storage.
When you go fast safety is of the utmost importance. Porsche equips all Boxsters with a patented crumple zone structure, inertia-reel 3-point seatbelts with pretensioners and load limiters, dual front airbags and door mounted side airbags. Boron steel tubing reinforcement surrounds the windshield and supplemental safety bars aft of the seats should protect during rollover accidents. PSM (Porsche Stability Management) is an option on both cars, and worth every penny.
After six years of Boxster experience and more than 120,000 regular and S model cars delivered to customers worldwide, the smallest Porsche accounts for 45% of the Stuttgart-based company's sales. After driving a Boxster, like me, you'll probably agree as to why the sales figures exceeded all initial expectations. Frederick J. Schwab, president and CEO of Porsche Cars North America Inc. may have summed the new car up best. "The Boxster established itself as the benchmark in the roadster segment. With the new 2003 Boxster and 2003 Boxster S, we've raised that benchmark even higher."
