Porsche 718 Boxster

The 2016 Porsche 718 Boxster marked the transition to turbocharged engines in the Boxster range, with its 2.0-litre flat-four producing 296 bhp and stretching to a 170 mph top speed. This example has covered 42,390 miles over the past decade — genuinely low for a 2016 car, pointing to selective rather than daily use.

The specification is well-considered: PCM navigation with Connect Plus, a leather package, heated seats, front and rear park assist, and sports tailpipes combine comfort with a sporting edge. Power Steering Plus and the 64-litre fuel tank add real-world versatility, and the PDK dual-clutch gearbox extracts the most from the turbocharged engine's delivery with precise, rapid shifts.

Finished in grey — a clean, neutral colour that suits the 718's taut proportions — this car represents a solid entry into mid-engined Porsche ownership. At £29,950 for a well-specced example with mileage this controlled, it sits at an attractive point in the current used 718 market.
