Porsche Boxster
The old Porsche Boxster seemed hard to fault but with growing roadster competition from BMW and Mercedes, Porsche had to somehow up it's game. And that it did. Changes are evolutionary rather than revolutionary but combined they keep this car at the top of it's class. Equipment levels are raised, the chassis is tightened and power continues to be edged up. Handling is sharper but high speed cruising is more refined too. Porsche's only problem with this car is trying to justify why you should spend so much more on a 911.
The PDK gearbox is a big improvement on the old Tiptronic system.
