In Depth Review: Porsche Boxster GTS
2015 Porsche Boxster GTS
Just last week we shared our Honeymooning adventure in the Boxster GTS. That was a story about what we saw and experienced. This week we want to take some time and talk about the car we made the trip in, a 2015 Boxster GTS. Have you driven one yet? We spent nearly a week in this one and here's what we thought of it.

Everyone Needs Friends Like This

I don't know about you, but I think the 356s look right at home at the top of the world.
