You are a great at your job. You are so respectful of your audience because you do not waste any time. Just on the job and with all the details. Please keep up the good work. Most people drag on and on when they host a show.
I know you shouldnt say anything personal these days, but goodness me I could watch her all day and more besides! A mesmerising presenter.. I actually just got one of these and the noise it makes seems fine, possibly because I havent owned previous versions
Excellent quick review of a beautiful Porsche let down by an STI exhaust note. But seriously could Rebecca possibly be any more adorable??? All that and she races cars too. Lucky the dude wedding her!!! Cheers.
wait so even though with the boxster and boxster S, is they're only one model of the Porsche boxster black edition? It's because I'm looking for my High school car
+hannes something That would decrease reliability. They simply should have sticked to the same damn concept. Like the 911, 6 cylidner boxer engine in the back, a concept that lasted for over 50 years, why can't they do the same iwth the boxster?
thumbs up if you thought that Bmw e39 was an M5 and had to rewind the video only to see it had just a single exhaust. Thumbs up still if you didn't notice the bmw at all, but had to go back after this comment. Cheers!
... had to LOL for the banana joke :D Rebecca, good review as always. I really love, that you're such a petrol head with sense and passion for sound. As an old school Porsche fan, I'm not so convinced with the new turbo-charged strategy of the company ... (especially 991) But the design of the 718 is great and Lava orange fits very well.
I was looking for a newer and better 911 cabriolet (to replace my 996 Targa)... turns out the best 911 cab is a previous generation Boxster! See Rebecca's 2015 Boxster vs. TT review.
RIP flat six. Was good while it lasted. The noise of a sports car is integral with the whole experience IMHO and this doesn't really cut it. A sad day for all those who love cars.
Boxter s or just regular 718 like it says in the back? The s surely isnt as slow as she mentions and does anything from 4.2 to 4 seconds flat to go to 62mph. Confusious says confusion is inevitable
When Noah went to the British Isles to warn people that it would rain for forty days straight everyone laughed at him. When he told them again that forty days of rains would wipe them off the planet they laughed even louder and told him that they were on day fifty two of rain already.
+Joko Tai it's hard to tell, but if I had to estimate based on the video, it looks to be a H or I colour, VS 1/2 diamond, on a white gold (could be platinum) setting, street price less than US $ 20000
+Joko Tai how could you tell without knowing the 4Cs of the stone? it looks to be a 1.5 - 1.75 Carat Brilliant cut, but more importantly, without knowing the Colour and Clarity, it could be worth as little as US $5000, or over US $100000 for a D, IF, perfect stone depending on the Jewelry House such like Harry Winston, VCA or Cartier.
Despite the fact I don't like the new engine of the 718 it's such a beauty of a car. And the driver is so gorgeous as well... I want to see her hair flying :)
This cars are going to become absolute Animals once a tune comes out and put a K04 turbo on this thing will easily make 500 HP. the Flat 6 sounded good but wasn't tunable so you were stuck with the power for ever. And there is not Exhaust that can't fix this.
+Ivan Giraldo Porsche has always been about driving enjoyment, it's never been about speed, making the most HP nor tuning. No exhaust can fix the sound of that uninspiring flat 4 engine. Sounds like a fucking Subaru or Golf gti! Porsche has lost it's soul.
+den525 you are wrong buddy with audi and vw engines the turbo chargers can,make stupid power. you have no idea. and i have heard 4 cylinders with exhaust thay sound amazing.you are just mad.
Ivan Giraldo Did I say it can't make more power? no. But no 4 cylinder engines with exhaust still sounds shit. I've owned a Golf R and Megane RS265, it makes it better but it's never that good.
If economy is what they're after why not put a VW sourced TDI in? Wait, never mind (too soon?)! I guarantee the NA flat 6 will do better mileage vs the turbo 4 if both driven "spiritedly." Turbos chug fuel on boost like crazy. Doesn't that kind of defeat the point of the "upgrade?" As a cherry on top you don't get that glorious flat 6 noise! Yes it will be quicker in a straight line w/the extra torque/power, but no one buys a Boxster to win drag races.
Couldn't agree more with the reviewer. The sound is so central to the excitement that comes with a Porsche. But for the same money, you can get yourself a 911 second hand with not too many miles on the clock that sounds awesome. Why bother with this raspberry blower!?
Not invited at the sunny launch? Oh well I guess it is good to know how the car drives on English roads and under the rain. And, although I like where they wrote Porsche below the spoiler lip, I really hate that they now have so much text at the back of all there cars ... and that is for middle eastern and far east markets where is it important for people to know that you have spent more money on the S or the Turbo!
+Photoandcargeek Oh and renaming existing models by using older names and pretending there is heritage is pure marketing but to me it sounds more ridiculous than anything. If they wanted to name their Boxter as the 718, why didn't they do it with their 1st generation Boxter? That would have made a lot more sense.
The front and rear lights look after market, electric power steering, also £40,000 for only 4 cylinders! Give me a earlier Boxster any day over a new one.
Yeah, miss. Jump on the media bandwagon about the 4-pot noise. You don't know diddly squat. Give up and get a job in B&Q. This car is superb. I own one, but in miami.
There needs to be a "Rebecca Jackson Drives Only Porsches" channel somewhere. I love watching her gleefully push them down twisty roads.
So nice having some rain in a UK based car review; it's a refreshing change.
Is there any other kind of weather?
+Neel Parmar I think he's being sarcastic.
+Firemarioflower and I think *he* was being British
Agreed, don't think I've seen a good weather review video ever from the UK, I would be depressed all the time.
So stay away then. No one is asking you to come.
it has space for a banana, this is a buy
+wagsbass they are imgurians! one of us!
+wagsbass No Alfa 4C for you, then.
appelpower1 i guess not
Ha
Damn
Does it rain EVERY freaking day in the UK?????
+pm512 lol i was thinking the same thing.
+pm512 It only rains here in the UK on the weekend, and Bank holidays and on any day that i'm planning on doing something fun outside!
+Stephen Coope LOL
+pm512 God no ! Only on non foggy days ...
It doesn't seem that odd to me. Oh, wait...I live in Portland... =P
You are a great at your job. You are so respectful of your audience because you do not waste any time. Just on the job and with all the details. Please keep up the good work. Most people drag on and on when they host a show.
I agree on the sound, it is quite uninspiring compared to the 6 cylinders
Good girl gone bad, rolling like a boss at the Goodboys Lane 3:11 :P
I know you shouldnt say anything personal these days, but goodness me I could watch her all day and more besides! A mesmerising presenter.. I actually just got one of these and the noise it makes seems fine, possibly because I havent owned previous versions

1:22 with Rebecca driving there is also an additional storage behind the seat appears
small and smart :)
i love the sound of the engine,
this might sound awkward, but that is such a super well designed door
Porsche are on fire at the moment
Did that model in the video have the Sports Exhaust System?
The banana in the boot is possibility the funniest thing I have ever seen
you need to get out more
wait so even though with the boxster and boxster S, is they're only one model of the Porsche boxster black edition? It's because I'm looking for my High school car
Great review without 15mins of droning on about ‘the noise’ like most other reviews. 👍
is it ALWAYS raining in the UK?
I don't get Porsche's new 4 dot LED headlight design. It's same as Kia's fog lamps..
It fits in with their design language across all models and It's not new.
+Visionist I like it.
I think it's very distinctive and looks great, subtle, less is more...
+Tyler saddington it was already on 2014's Optima..
Too late, I think Porsche started doing it on 918 Spyder and now they're updating their whole line-up to the four-dot-design...
Is it better than an Audi TT? I've seen very good reviews of the new TT as well, and they seem to be fairly close competitors.
+Jonathan Oakey TT its cheaper, less powerful and FWD, you could only compare it to the tts, and even so...
Rebecca the only reason I came to watch the video when I received a notification about it
How to wash the roof? I see it is raining in the video.
they should reduce cilinder size, not the amount of cilinders.
+hannes something That would decrease reliability. They simply should have sticked to the same damn concept. Like the 911, 6 cylidner boxer engine in the back, a concept that lasted for over 50 years, why can't they do the same iwth the boxster?
I think it's alright. some differentiation is good. boxter cayman with 4 and 911 with 6.
80386 But the cayman is actually better than the 911!
maybe that's exactly why they decided to widen the gap
Probably, but now they're making a 500 hp 4.0 cayman GT4 RS.
Finally! Rebecca's opinion is the one I've been waiting for.
There was a banana in the trunk for size comparison
thumbs up if you thought that Bmw e39 was an M5 and had to rewind the video only to see it had just a single exhaust.
Thumbs up still if you didn't notice the bmw at all, but had to go back after this comment. Cheers!
Crazy how everyone rather it be louder than faster 🤦♂️
I love Rebecca's accent. What part of the UK is she from? London?
Is it 4 cyl. boxer engine or in-line layout?
+Simon Tsiganis I thought they might revert back to an in-line 4 cyl. like the old 924 Porsche!
+Scott Slack porsche had only 4-cyl boxers before 911 era
... had to LOL for the banana joke :D
Rebecca, good review as always.
I really love, that you're such a petrol head with sense and passion for sound.
As an old school Porsche fan, I'm not so convinced with the new turbo-charged strategy of the company ... (especially 991)
But the design of the 718 is great and Lava orange fits very well.
What wheels are those?
I was looking for a newer and better 911 cabriolet (to replace my 996 Targa)... turns out the best 911 cab is a previous generation Boxster! See Rebecca's 2015 Boxster vs. TT review.

ok... this made me want to watch fake taxi again.
That paintwork and interior trim is so on point
It’s so nice to watching you reviewing the car ... seems that you have fun as much I do :D girls loving cars
What's the fun of driving convertable in a 24/7 rainy country like uk
So, some Third party exhaust systems can fix that stock one right ???/ pls say yes :'( !!!!
Adding two cylinders..?
The sound seems fine to me. And that is not noise. It's sound! ;)
Love the rear end and equipment on this model.
Shame the British weather stopped us from seeing it in all of its glory.
When Noah went to the British Isles to warn people that it would rain for forty days straight everyone laughed at him. When he told them again that forty days of rains would wipe them off the planet they laughed even louder and told him that they were on day fifty two of rain already.
Anything close for the money...
Elise or Exige ??
+Lewis72 this car is a dd, lotuses aren't
N1GHT5
dd ?
Lewis72 daily driver
N1GHT5
I had an Elise as a 'DD' for a year and a half, it was crap but it was still my DD !
Room down now at 40mph. Can't help think she doesn't care about any of those power numbers she was throwing out.
No the sound isn't perfect but the rest is. I bought one and love it.
I bought a 2017 base model. Outstanding car, you have to drive one to understand what all the fuss is about. lol
im 195cm is it fit for me ?
Well, I'm glad I have the old engine.
slaWterCH which model have the old engine, boxter 6
Great car. Just picked my new one up and vlogged it. :)
That's a nice ring.
+Joko Tai it's hard to tell, but if I had to estimate based on the video, it looks to be a H or I colour, VS 1/2 diamond, on a white gold (could be platinum) setting, street price less than US $ 20000

About 19999 more than shes worth. Shes a great sales person
About the car, i like the new black line on the back, but the front bumper is so generic and 90ies...
I thought I was the only one who think that
+Sandouras wake up, long sharp lines is the latest trend
N1GHT5 I dont see any of those on this car.
Sandouras that's too bad
What does "chassis balance" even mean or is she just saying what the brochure said ?
Despite the fact I don't like the new engine of the 718 it's such a beauty of a car. And the driver is so gorgeous as well... I want to see her hair flying :)
R016 FXK - same demo vehicle in the Autocar review.
cool story bro
CAR THROTTLE: the 718 boxster S is faster than the BMW M4, Audi R8 v10, and the Ferrari 599 around Nurburgring
+Dung Bag the new audi r8 v10? i doubt very much
"And i just wish
*amazing porsche sound*
that one missing element wasnt the noise". What?!
+Pedro Santos HAHAHA you have heard nothing bro. That was shiiiiiiit
best boxter ever made and that engine its sound so good
haha ok buddy,they sound like subaru wrx's now....
So does my Subaru WRX
I don't care about the noise. I would take these 3 cuties right away.
3? Porsche, Rebeca, and the banana?
no banana, no deal
She needs to resize that ring. It's falling off
Beautiful. The car's not that bad either.
How many times is this car faclifted now? It's looks almost the same since 2005! But I love it.
+Platlander the 718 and pre-facelift is a completely new car, miles better than the 2005 ones.
Why is there a british accent talking about MILES per hour?
Seth Amsel probably because we British use miles per hour🙄
i love you Rebeca!
Simp
Yea she’s cute
This makes me want a used 981.
Welcome back Mr banana! :)
Everybody seems to hate the engine noise in the 2016 and 2017 Porsche 718.
Love that girl, hate the new porsches, they miss the spark of old porsches
When Rebecca revved the engine, it sounded like a subie.
Subaru copied VW. It sounds like a VW.
Vw's have all sorts of engines, it sounds (a bit) like the original VW beetle.
This cars are going to become absolute Animals once a tune comes out and put a K04 turbo on this thing will easily make 500 HP. the Flat 6 sounded good but wasn't tunable so you were stuck with the power for ever. And there is not Exhaust that can't fix this.

I noticed that you drove past Goodboys Lane. Does that mean you like bad boys?
If economy is what they're after why not put a VW sourced TDI in? Wait, never mind (too soon?)! I guarantee the NA flat 6 will do better mileage vs the turbo 4 if both driven "spiritedly." Turbos chug fuel on boost like crazy. Doesn't that kind of defeat the point of the "upgrade?" As a cherry on top you don't get that glorious flat 6 noise! Yes it will be quicker in a straight line w/the extra torque/power, but no one buys a Boxster to win drag races.
the banana looks unhealthy tho.... great car, reviewer and review again as expected! :D
i hope you guys can also review the boxter spyder :D
That was a banana? it looked more like a roadkill ; )
Sorry -- I meant---- you are great at your job.
where is the engine ????
Nice review, good job! Iguess the banana was to give perspective?
I miss Rebecca, that's why I come back here....
how about a used m4
Couldn't agree more with the reviewer. The sound is so central to the excitement that comes with a Porsche. But for the same money, you can get yourself a 911 second hand with not too many miles on the clock that sounds awesome. Why bother with this raspberry blower!?
use the Loofa
Porsche Boxster is the best sports car ever made. Put a 6 cylinder turbo in a 718 and you have perfection.
Not invited at the sunny launch? Oh well I guess it is good to know how the car drives on English roads and under the rain.
And, although I like where they wrote Porsche below the spoiler lip, I really hate that they now have so much text at the back of all there cars ... and that is for middle eastern and far east markets where is it important for people to know that you have spent more money on the S or the Turbo!

banana for scale? 9gager?
I can't decide which is more attractive: Rebecca or the 718
I love Rebecca !!!!
Rebbeca seems excited
Your sounding more polished matey.
I'm a fan. And I like the 718 too...
Everyone hates this but I love it
Rebecca u r my fav. & ur Videos r on the top
meh...think I'll stick with my 3.2 flat six for now.
I don't even like Boxters, I just came for Rebecca.
Flat six is gone for good but a rotten banana cannot be forgotten.
Why does she sit soooo close to the steering wheel?
+SuperYoda7 Because she's short.
That's a racing position and she is a race driver in her spare time, no joke
The front and rear lights look after market, electric power steering, also £40,000 for only 4 cylinders! Give me a earlier Boxster any day over a new one.
in good old English: it's a "farty" soundtrack
nice ring
Yeah, miss. Jump on the media bandwagon about the 4-pot noise.
You don't know diddly squat. Give up and get a job in B&Q.
This car is superb. I own one, but in miami.
Bill Mondoob And, do you like your Porsche?
Should be a 2.5 L six cylinder
Is it a flat 4 engine instead of the 6? Sounds kinda like a Subaru. I like it anyways regardless.
wouldn't surprise me at all if they did but seems to sound nice when the cameras outside the car too
sounds like a vw..
oh you are here ， I wondered where did you move to
Lava Orange, Agate Grey, or Black? :v
