I drive an 04 Boxster S every day. I have owned lots of different cars over the years but I have to say the Porsche is fantastic. It does everything you could ever want & won’t deprecate as fast as the other cars in its class. Good vid.👍
I've had both and currently have a Boxster S. They are both great cars but for me the Porsche is worth the extra money. I've had a Honda S2000 as well which was a great car but didn't handle as well as the Porsche. Rating for me, Porsche, Honda then Audi.
Having owned an Audi TT, replaced my modded MX5 Turbo BBR poor thing died of tin worm and currently a 911, the difference in how they drive is light years apart. The feeling, steering, feedback and excitement of the Porsche is far far better. The Audi Quattro may be faster on some roads, especially in bad weather, but the Porsche is the one that will put a big grin on your face.
Thanks for the comparison. Boxster 981 PDK DFI for me no question about it a cabriolet sports car that sounds and drives like one. With 20” Carrera wheels it holds the road better than anything I’ve driven. It’s not a hard ride either and the suspension is very comfortable, which is a great plus. Once driven forever smitten.
Is there really a place for wondering? Boxter is way better - the look, the trill, the dynamic... Although TT is nice car it is still a front wheel drive VW Golf underneath. And I really don't like new front gill and lights neither the stupid TFT display instead normal gages - I would like to drive car not Ipad!
xCopaCOD I'm not sure you are right... usually I will agree, but she is a racing driver and most probably have more experience then both of us together :)
benzfen Not like that. I mean more like that this test is not made to check the better car in general but more to check which car is better roadster for the summer for cruising around I guess. Cause you can't really compare those two. Then you'd have to compare TTS/RS and Boxster or something like that.
AUT IceT Yes and? Still boring to drive compared to Boxter ...You can't drift, no mater how good is the suspension set up you going to feel the intervention of the power over the front axle... ...and it is still Audi not Porsche (although if I'm not wrong Porsche use the TT platform for Boxter) not to mention that Boxter looks way better in my ewes... and I really hate Audi new "digital display" for me this is a complete shit and no one need it - just a posh toy to charge you more... no thanks :)
I think it depends what you want, if you want a open roof convertible that is very comfortable and you can use every day and dont care about the ultmatie driving thrills then you would go for the TT. However if you love driving and you want to have the most pleasure and feel the road with the nice RWD set up then the boxster is your choice.
I would go with Audi TT considering that Boxster for whatever the reason got insane tax added to the price. While Audi didn't,The TT starts at 3.1 million THB and Boxster starts at the ridiculous 6 million+ THB.
I actually did cross shop them. I ended up buying a Porsche Cayman/Boxster. But for the the price of a 10 year old base Cayman (no options), I could buy a near new TT with remaining factory warranty for the same price with cash to spare. Porsche's just do not depreciate as much. But the TT is an excellent car, the interior is stunning.
Adam Pietryszyn Because she just loves herself. Although the way she continually keeps holding her hands together indicates she is quite insecure. She would make a good co-presenter with TG Richard Hammond, a pair of self loving midgets!
"Two litre TFSI" is not a 'version' of the TT, the entry level TT and the faster TTS both have the same engine, but the TTS is tuned faster. So stating that you're testing the "two litre TFSI" version doesn't actually tell us which TT model you're testing.
Yes but that might have meant a different result and no reviewer is going to say that an Audi is better than a Porsche. Almost every TT/Boxster review goes like this; "am in the TT, oh what a lovely interior, virtual cockpit is amazing, oh aren't the air vents lovely, it's really fast, great handling BUT I wish I could feel the road more (half won't even know what that means but they say it anyway now it doesn't understeer), it's quick but boring so don't buy it. Now I am in a Porsche in a totally different price category and basically I've wet myself as it is The Best Car Ever Made and can do no wrong".
Boxster S all the way! Its an amazing car, not so much the normal entry level one. That is more of the roadster stereo type. It lacks torque. The S is a beast though.Same with most Porsche models really. Save up and get an S
Shion Earl yeah, whats with the base engine? My GTI pretty much matches it, its like they came up with it just for people to have to buy the higher model.
i have t he tt right now and would stick with it.. i dont respect any rumor that anti turbo this day in age its like saying your anti hospital cuz you go to church ones a perfectly fine way of doing something the other in modern and can do it better and the fact their calling now i havent drove slower well im sure it is you can only bore an engine so much you turbo it as long as the design and alloy hold up ... seemingly transmission design should be able to compensate to a underrated level that im not totally aware of but i have seen a 1 to 1.5 seconds to 60 over tans design engine design more importantly turbo or n/a and trans design and weight but ill say this engine design cant beat turbo in reality cylinders cant either i mean turbos have a whole science of their own but way the setting come on turbos stock often expensive care that put it all into the other factors beat them and it seems like their just beginning to add them on top of cars that dont thats what really gets me they really are simply picking thinner engine walls for bore strength instead with turbos witch i dont think ever comes close in the same size cars in say a charger thats like a truck engine and win without turbo ... alas its all over anyway that musk ... its really is ... over the electric cars do things i never though i would be able to drive let alone afford at some point
The Audi TT has certainly improved styling design both inside and out, but it's driving experience just doesn't deliver to suit those sporty looks. I do understand that Audi likes their front wheel bias Haldex system, but they should atleast use a 70% rear bias for their more sporty models. *Yawn*. Audi make great daily drivers, but emotionless sports cars.
Well first of all, I'd like to say thank you to you for demonstrating the both- perfect cars- for me to easily witness side by side, since I probably wouldn't have been able to do that. I see how this is a challenge; to decided which of two differently good cars is preferable. I see a slightly higher quality in Porsche, of course, that's how it is, but I love the feeling of modern high quality turbo charging and this Audi TT certainly is up there as one of the best. I am compelled to like the newest Audi TT over the Boxster. This is the 1st TT that I like the exterior of without wishing to change at least one small thing. I wouldn't change anything about this one. I disagree with people who say the computer screen is tacky. It is so gorgeous and even a Porsche would be sophisticated with it. I however understand why they like the old-fashioned mechanical gauges as those are sweet engineering and beautiful design, too. The TT screen is more capable, indisputably, yet tidy.
I had a TT mkii and this one is better, but it's still a style driven road car, whereas the Boxster is a sports car. The Boxster GTS drives better than it's more expensive rivals let alone the TT, and I completely agree with the point made about feeling instantly at home behind the wheel. It's so planted and well balanced, even my wife didn't feel travel sick which is a first. I was loathed to test drive (poor man's 911?) but the wife insisted we at least try it. We spent hours with more expensive cars (even an F Type) but it took just 5 minutes to choose the Boxster instead. 18 months later and I still can't find anything to tempt me..... Except a Lambo :)
MrElnuno Um...says me. 🤷🏻♂️ Let’s think about this, maxing out the performance on either car isn’t really going to happen as I’m not taking either of these to the track. Thus, in terms of performance, I’m going to be more than satisfied with either. Looks, I think they both look amazing (granted which ever I decide, it will be the coupe). Here’s the real dilemma for me, a Porsche is a Porsche...badass and looks great. I love Audi’s though (I previously owned an A5) and the interior is BY FAR better in the Audi.

TT has the better interior and the more refined engine, though I'd prefer the Coupe version, simply because that's what it's meant to be. The TT Roadster is a Coupe which lost its roof. In that respect, Boxster remains the king, because it was designed from day one to be a roadster. Bring on TT Coupe vs Cayman!
I didn't know that actually. The first production car was ,a Coupe ( Sep '98 ) and then came the Roadster ( Aug '99 ). That's what I'm referencing. But anyway, the Coupe is the better model in my opinion. I'd prefer the Boxster over the Roadster, but hey, that's just me.
Yes it was a curious decision they made in the 90s and I would love to know the thinking behind it, but the TT roadster became a coupe for the concept and, as you say, did not reappear again until later. Love the Boxster and (new) TT.
quick tip on presenting style, your talking and changing tones like a news anchor, feels all to scripted, the camera is an audience, speak to it as you would another person.
well personally i think the Audi is top quality and so is the Porsche but the Audi does it for me and thats me decided on my summer car, hope you get your Porsche, see you around
Come on Rebecca， chnage those boots atleast for camera shots， i understand they work with driving and those roads. but they look like you are saving your entire paycheck . 😄
I think with the cost of petrol in GB and the lack of decent work for anybody minus, doctors, solicitors, and celebrities the closet any of you will get to driving a convertible like those is either something very old or a Smart with a canvas roof!
just bought BOXSTER S and agree with the review - it just wants to be revved and makes you smile

I fully agree, I have a 2005 Porsche Boxster as a daily drive and I'm more then happy to go to work every day

Finally a reviewer I like !!!! Where u been the guy bores meeeee
Nice video, but I'd like to know how the Boxter would compare to the 306hp TT-S which would be closer on pricing. Thanks for the excellent work!

When you start to enter those level of performance figures handling and driving capabilities start to become an issue.
Bought a boxter a few Days ago. The 6 cylinder and the handling make it special and worth the Money!
Congratulations man! How have you been liking it so far?

one of my all-time favorite car reviews
I don’t know what makes me more excited, the delightful Rebecca or the cars but it’s probably Rebecca. 😍
Three beautiful machines!
What is the music of this video? Sounds great!
One of the best roadster reviews ever!
She's so fine and the weather is gorgeous, beautiful cars, no boring details and lovely accent...
no one cross-shops between a Porsche and a VW Golf based TT. The Porsche is the choice of all that love driving.
I actually did cross shop them. I ended up buying a Porsche Cayman/Boxster. But for the the price of a 10 year old base Cayman (no options), I could buy a near new TT with remaining factory warranty for the same price with cash to spare. Porsche's just do not depreciate as much. But the TT is an excellent car, the interior is stunning.
as a Porsche owner. Sit down. It's a very apt comparison.
@ you are not a porsche owner 😂😂😂 get on your bus and shut up
When will Jeep Renegade be testes?
fabiocds1 Hi, we are just waiting for a Renegade test car to become available, so we will hopefully have a review some time in May. Thanks
Rebecca is finally reviewing a Boxster! Her race car!
love it when she says TT
Just look at them two! VW beetle or R8 like coupe?
Who washed that Boxster? :(
Although i'm not a fan of the Boxster i'd choose it over the Audi TT regardless of price!
I agree with you Rebecca. Porsche Boxster is a great car with a great engine!
Best hardtop convertibles?
The music is just perfect for this review!!!!
Hey, why not TT S?
porche is dearer but you get what you pay for. mind the exhaustive options list though as its possible to get a very expensive boxter very easily .
how s the name of the song in the video
Is she related to Robert Peston?
I really enjoy her accent. Super fun.
I agree with you!
What a beatifull place you are. Wide field. Very Green. I Wish I could be on a place like that.
After spending all this money on a car, what is the guarantee that I will get a woman like this this to myself?

+cockshield Agreed

Is the bizarre your own car?
Love seeing Rebecca thrash cars about, but her style can be a bit 'shopping channel' - still very watchable.
Glad you're better now. Don't you race boxters?
it would have been more fair to compare the Boxter S with the Audi TTS Roadster that would have been a clear win for the Audi.
Jonas Rush that was not the Boxster S it was just the standard Boxster
Win for the Audi???? Dream on.
Even the early 2.5 986 will corner better than an ‘18 plate’ TT.
I really like these reviews ;)
Why on earth was she talking like that?!
Adam Pietryszyn Because she just loves herself. Although the way she continually keeps holding her hands together indicates she is quite insecure. She would make a good co-presenter with TG Richard Hammond, a pair of self loving midgets!

I like TTs, especially with the top off XD

sjb2015 Idk but i would any TT over a porsche all day every day.
If you want a cheap sporty saloon get the TT, if you want a proper sports car pay the money and get the Porsche.
