Guards red looks amazing both for the new Boxster and 911.
I love everything about this car except what I hear about the steering. Boxster and Cayman have always been about handling, even more than the 911 imo. They could have left the old steering on these lower models...

Great review!
Thanks DJ!!!
I really like the new design and the upgraded interior!
But if the following turns out not to be an exaggeration,I have my deepest hopes for the Cayman to do it better!

The new system isn’t as good. Oh, it’s probably the best electro-mechanical power steering yet fitted to a sports car, but that doesn’t hide the fact that the last Boxster was more tactile in this area.
You really could feel every little nuance of the road surface. Now you can’t. Does this really matter? Perhaps to ten per cent of the Porsche drivers it does, but as a business proposition Porsche can now sell Boxsters to SLK drivers. And volume counts.
