The Porsche 718 Boxster GTS Is the Perfect Blend of Thrilling and Livable Forget the new six-cylinder Boxster Spyder. The most versatile mid-engine Porsche has been right under our noses.

Road and Track just performed the first side-by-side review of the new Spyder with the 718 Boxster GTS.

I can’t say I’m surprised at the conclusion. The ability to drive the car on normal roads is an important part of the buy decision. GTS comes standard with -10mm suspension drop, but you can spec another 10mm off. It makes drive much more firm. The Spyder comes with -30mm drop…..so even harder.

Gen 1 GT4 cars are also prone to suspension failure. Strut pops out top of the aluminium housing….Its the weakest link. Suspension unit would be cheaper……

R&T Conclusion

There are no losers among Boxster buyers. Both the GTS and Spyder are brilliant, engaging sports cars. But it just so happens the best all-round Boxster comes with four cylinders, not six, thrumming behind the driver's back.
