Here my experiences with the boxster for 24 hours: A very nice sales consultant in the PZ HH center presses with a key in the hand. Sport seats make sense. On the whole, however, I have the feeling that despite full leather, the interior seems inferior to me. The TT already has a very nice and highly wet cockpit with many large parts brushed aluminum. So on to the driving test. Ignition key turned and : Wrummm! OK, the sound comes from the back and is quite tired! I’m used to something similar from my MTM sports exhaust on the TT. Then gear in and off. I let it go quietly to get to the car steering is good and direct, but I can’t really feel 60 more Porsche PS in city traffic. I also fight a little with the shift lever, which keeps on the way from the 2nd into the 3rd gear on the cone between 1st and 3rd gear (it’s probably a bit of a habit). So I bubber the boxster through HH for an hour and then park it in my underground garage. When I drive into the TG I hear the much more voluminous sound. OK, de r Engine sound fits even without sports exhaust system! Park the car and do the suitcase aumtest. The golf bag really fits in the back!!! Just the purchase has become a little more likely (The TT swallows 2 golf bags and luggage for 1 week, but is also a coupé) So I go into my apartment and pellet myself out of my suit and put on something more comfortable. I also pack my jacket and a baseball cap with. The Ipod is also included. Again in the boxster, wrummmm! I’m getting used to driving through the dense city traffic towards the highway. It’s funny that the Boxster doesn’t really pull… have the feeling that the TT is not much slower or weaker… Finally I’m on the BAB heading north. Speed limit 120 km/h. At some point the favorite sign comes: Free ride! I step through in the 5th gear fully and well, let’s get in front of me… up to 180 km/h. At the end of the construction site I bravely put in the 2nd gear and step through. Holà!!! Now we are talking!!! I turn up to 7,000 turns and then throw in the 3rd gear. So you have to drive a boxster!!!!! At the TT, the “Sweet Spot” is between 2,000 – 4,500 turns. With the boxster it starts only from 4,500. I could have tried that earlier 😉 Finally I felt good enough to try out more speed. In between, I was slowed down by a bit of traffic (permanent left-handers who forget to drive back to the middle lane after the overtaking). Then the hood of a new Mini Cooper S appears at my rear. OK, let’s see when the blow goes out… Again the gears turned out nicely and for my taste not enough distance to the mini won. Why isn’t it really much smaller in my rearview mirror? From 245 km/h I get away from him slowly, abe r the traffic and my caution slow me down again. On a really straight piece I step through again up to 255 km/h. The mini could keep up to 230 well and must have been so from 240 at the limit. I Max from at 255 km/h because I don’t trust myself anymore and still a bit of traffic is on the road. The boxster is very sate and quiet on the road. I never have an unsafe feeling. Quite the opposite. Rather the feeling of total control! Only the brakes are no Here the TT is also very good. I have the feeling that the boxster brakes well, but not as direct and hard as the TT. At the boxster you simply have to climb hard on the pedal when a correct delay is used. The mini then overtakes me on a 120 piece at Lübeck and has a wide grin. I wave to him kindly and see that he has a (like pale) lady next to him on the seat. At his rear there was a sticker with 3 sockets. Taben (estimated, it was the name of the tuning company that made the bock “Fett”) So quite honestly. Respect and everything, but in such a small and high box I don’t want to drive so fast!!! And then still with escort… Now I nozzle the Bundesstrasse 76 towards Timmendorfer Strand. The clouds light up but it is only 17 degrees. I stop briefly in a parking bay, put on my jacket and the cap and open the cover. Sitting heating and heating fully on. Otherwise I would in the weather Never do, but that’s also a test drive!!! Turn up the radio (via IPod) and look forward to the very good sound of the sound package. Finally I drive 3 times in Lübeck (actually wanted to drive the 75 back to HH) roll towards A1 and close the cover on the driveway to the A1. Very practical!!!! At some point the Xenon headlights of a SLK appear in the rearview mirror and finally pass by me. I use this opportunity to give again really gas, since the At 250km/h it pulls over and lets me pass. The next 15-20 km are relatively straight with a few long curves and stretched hills. The SLK followed me, but not as light-footed as the Mini before. But now I also felt much more comfortable in the Boxster and also had the right gear at the right speed. This SLK seems to have been very slow. It was probably “just a 350” in the AMG 55 design, but it couldn’t be normal. Not with a 240 hp boxster! When I had 265 km/h on the digital speedometer I was constantly running away from it. Even a controlled AMG 55 with an experienced driver would be dependent on it… Close a 120 km/h border sign rushes past me and I test the bite of the brakes. O K, you just have to step on it properly, then pack them too!!! I ride comfortably at 130 km/h until the exit, but will be overtaken quite rapidly by the SLK… On the way from the highway I drive then in smaller corridors home. Now the boxster moves also as I had imagined it. When I then got into my TT, I first noticed the right difference. You just have to feel and learn boxster driving!!! I write my conclusion after ic Oh yes, I’m not actually a full-speed driver. My travel speed is usually 160 – 180 km/h. I do such full-speed driving very rarely, but for the test ride it was part of it!
