The Boxster isn’t all high-octane thrills, though; its ride is compliant and comfy enough to pleasurably cruise even bumpy roads and the adaptable transmission allows you to race around at 65 mph in second gear or amble along at 35 mph in fourth. And the cabin, even with the top down, is surprisingly serene – normal conversation with your passenger is possible. The optional wind deflector that fits between the headrests plays a large role in suppressing wind noise.
