About the 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster
The 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster is a seriously fun, two-seater convertible that blends sports car excitement with surprisingly practical dimensions for a Porsche. Starting at a base price of $74,900, you get the unmistakable handling Porsche is known for, delivered through a rear-wheel-drive platform mated to a slick 7-speed automated manual transmission. While it's certainly built for spirited drives, you might be surprised by its efficiency; it nets a combined 24 MPG (21 city/27 highway), meaning weekend blasts don't necessitate constant refueling with premium unleaded. At 172.4 inches long, it's relatively compact, which is great for navigating tight city streets, and you still get 9.7 cubic feet of cargo space for storing weekend bags—a decent haul for a mid-engine drop-top.
