HISTORY历史
The Porsche Boxster arrived a year after its predecessor, the 968 series of cars, was axed.抵达后一年的保时捷boxster942,968系列轿车,被断送.

The Boxster hit that particular bullseye.boxster击中了那个bullseye. Developed from a show car which wowed the crowds at the 1993 Detroit Motor Show, the Boxster initially disappointed due to the watering down of many of the bold ideas displayed in the show car.从表演车wowed人潮在1993底特律汽车展最初的失望boxster由于淡化了许多大胆设想展示表演车. Its on-paper performance figures didn?t appear promising either, being significantly slower than the previous 968.它在纸上雾化表现人物?笔似乎有为要么是显着低于先前968. It did have a classic Porsche flat-six engine, even if it was water-cooled and located in the middle of the car instead of slung out past the rear axle, and those who drove the Boxster were instantly converted.的确经典保时捷楼6发动机,即使是水冷及位于其间的汽车代替了过去吊挂后车轴、而那些被驱逐的boxster瞬间转换.

WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The Boxster is an astonishingly capable car.车boxster是惊人的能力. Traditional Porsche design cues are everywhere, belying the car?s position in the range.传统的保时捷设计线索绘声绘影,车内落空?收盘位置在射程. There?s the slab-like dashboard, the breathy wheeze of the flat-six engine behind you and Porsche?s Weissach Crest staring at you from the centre of the steering wheel.?收盘的平板式仪表呼气喘息的扁平6引擎背后议保时捷?收盘weissach凝望你从坝顶中心驾驶盘. The detailing on all models is good, but interior fit and finish was much improved when the 2.7-litre and S models were launched.所有型号的详细说明是好的,但内政部完成得到了很大的提高,适合当270公升型号和S发射. The plastics quality on the 2.5-litre cars is notably inferior.塑化质量的2.5公升轿车明显劣势.
Having said that, whichever Boxster model you choose, it?s a car that makes you feel a million dollars, especially with the hood down and the engine at full chat.话虽如此,你选择哪boxster模式,它?收盘车子让你感觉万美元,特别是随着发动机罩下来,满聊天. The hood mechanism is almost worth the price of admission by itself.方巾的价格机制是值得几乎收于一身. Pressing a single button will electrically raise the rear deck, and unfold the hood until it tautens and can then be latched onto the windscreen header rail.单一按钮将电动迫切提高后方甲板直到tautens方巾、开展和挡风玻璃可以追随头铁. In all it takes just 12 seconds and although rivals such as the Mercedes SLK have taken this trick and refined it still further, the Boxster?s hood still draws admiring glances.一切只需12秒,虽然竞争对手如奔驰slk采取这种伎俩还进一步完善,boxster的?收盘方巾仍提请钦佩眼神. And this, for many, is what the Porsche is all about.而这一点,对许多人来说,正是保时捷是怎么一回事. It?s a car to be seen in, to parade about town whilst flaunting effortless good taste.?收盘汽车就可看出,虽然洒镇约巡游顺手得体.
For this set, the Porsche is surprisingly practical.这一套,实际是出乎意料的保时捷. The front and rear boots can actually swallow a surprising amount of Prada and Hermes bags, and the Tiptronic cars make town driving painless.前后靴子其实枣吞下了惊人数额和赫姆斯袋tiptronic做出镇驾驶汽车和无痛. This sort of car, having lived its life gently perambulating suburban high streets makes the best used buy.这种车,其居住生活近郊高街上缓缓巡行作了最好用买. Often, however, they get treated far harder.常常,不过,他们得到的待遇远远劲头.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
A car this good, with the image, the electric soft top, and that Porsche crest on the bonnet isn?t going to be a cheap used buy.这车好,形象,电动软顶,而保时捷的头盖肖国义?笔会是一个用来买便宜. Boxsters hold onto their residual value with some tenacity and even now, 1996 cars are still worth around £21,100, or just over 50% of their new value.boxsters守住自己的剩余价值,甚至现在有些坚韧,1996轿车21100英镑左右仍值得,或者仅仅超过50%的新价值. If you?re looking for a trade secret or performance bargain, look elsewhere.如果你?重新寻找商业秘密或者表现讨价还价,看别处. Tiptronic models are worth around £1,500 extra, although the manual car is by far the more enjoyable of the two.tiptronic模式值得1500多英镑左右,虽然手工车才是更愉快的两个. A more typical price for a 2.5-litre Boxster is £22,900 for a 1998 R-registered example.较典型价为2.5公升boxster为22900英镑,是1998年的R注册的例子.

Prices for the 2.7-litre Boxster start at £24,900 for a 1999 V-registered car, and you?ll have to stump up at least £27,500 for a similar vintage S model.价格为270公升boxster为24900英镑1999年开始在纳斯达克注册车而你呢?当地有方寸,至少为27,500英镑收盘类似古董的模式. Not cheap, but when you consider that for a year after its launch, the Boxster was worth more used than new it gives you some idea as to the regard these cars are held in. Insurance ratings for the Boxster are 18 for all models bar the S which is rated at Group 19.不便宜,但是当你认为它推出了一年之后,boxster采用了价值20多给你一些新的思路,为把这些车保险评级的举办地.boxster18杆所有型号的S是额定集团19.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Boxster?s engine is a reliable and charismatic unit which has yet to show up any significant problems.boxster的?收盘引擎是一个可靠和魅力股尚未显现任何重大问题. Check the tyres for wear and also have the rear axle and suspension inspected as heavy acceleration from a standstill on a dry surface leads not to wheelspin, but to quite severe ?axle-tramp.?检查轮胎磨损,也受检查后车轴加速度为重,从表面干燥导致瘫痪的一个不wheelspin,但比较严重?轴不定期.? This is a condition where the rear of the car judders under the torque of the drive going to the grippy rear tyres and is a potentially damaging and uncomfortable sensation.这是一种条件下的汽车后排judders扭矩驱动下前往grippy后方,是一个潜在的破坏和轮胎舒服感觉. A whining axle or drive shaft will bear testament to this.牢骚一轴或传动轴将承担佐证.
Check the condition of the alloy wheels for kerbing damage.检查情况的合金轮子镶边损坏. Also make sure the electric motors that power the hood haven?t been damaged by ignorant occupants attempting to raise or lower the roof manually.同时督促电机功率的方巾,天堂?笔遭毁坏,企图提高或降低无知占用屋顶手动.

Boxsters are quite colour sensitive, and dark blue and green cars are harder to shift than ever-popular silver and red.boxsters颜色相当敏感,深蓝色和绿色车难移比以往流行银色和红色. Otherwise insist on a proper Porsche main dealer service history and buy with confidence.否则,坚持正确的历史和保时捷主要服务经销商购买信心.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(Estimated prices, based on a 2.7 Boxster) Boxster spares are predictably quite pricey, although they never cross the border into exorbitant.(估计价格的基础上,七月二日boxster)boxster料零件都相当昂贵,虽然他们从不越界进入昂贵. A clutch kit is £175, while front brake pads are around £60 with rears weighing in at about £75.一英镑175套离合器,刹车皮阵线大约60英镑,在抚养重量约英镑75.

Despite the Boxster?s impressive showing in terms of market performance, practicality and reliability, it is on the road that the Porsche aces the opposition.尽管boxster?收盘骄人业绩表现在市场、实用性和可靠性,这是在路上的保时捷尖子反对派.

The 2.7-litre model is just about perfect, with the best engine note of the entire range.270公升模式只是完美、最好的说明发动机整个射程. Performance figures are impressive, with 0-60 in 6.6 seconds and a top speed of 155mph making it quick enough for most.骄人业绩数字,同0~60秒和6月6日在最高时速达155mph使大多数够快. The Tiptronic shift system is easy to master but the gearbox blunts the performance figures.轮班制的tiptronic变速箱容易掌握,但人物表现减弱. The 3.2-litre S model is bordering on supercar fast and makes it effortlessly easy to stray into speeds which would merit a custodial sentence.320公升收盘模式颇为快速,使得supercar用力容易误闯速度将优异判处监禁. It?s not too difficult to reach 60mph in less than six seconds.?收盘不是太难达到60mph不足6秒. Beware.当心.
The overriding impression after a drive in a Boxster is of its unshakeable composure.后驱车感觉压倒了boxster是其不可动摇的从容. For an open topped car there?s no shake or shimmy in the chassis, and even in the S model, the sort of lurid tail slides that would be top of the TVR menu are utterly absent.车开了有突破?收盘没有动摇或摆在底盘,甚至在收盘模式那种沮丧的尾巴会高高的滑梯,迷宫菜单纯属缺席. Porsche Stability Management is available on the later cars, an electronic stability control system that ensures that the probability of a hedge/Boxster/ditch moment is minimised.保时捷稳定管理可在车后,电子控制系统,确保稳定的概率必备/boxster/沟一刻最少.

As a used buy it?s still a good bet, but you?ll need deep pockets to be able to afford the initial purchase price.作为用来买?收盘依然良好打赌,但你呢?当地需要能负担口袋初次购买价格. After that, the Boxster, like most Porsches, is surprisingly cheap to run.此后,boxster,最喜欢porsches,出人意外廉价办.
