In which fuel variants is the Porsche 986 Boxster offered?

The Porsche 986 Boxster most commonly uses petrol as its fuel type.

We advocate for a careful review of your driving habits before you commit to a fuel type. Do you frequently drive within city limits or on broader highways and motorways? What's the average number of miles you drive weekly?

If you drive mostly short distances, range is not crucial - so electric, plug-in or petrol are obvious choices. For daily long journeys, electric cars make the most sense if you can charge easily. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Despite the rise of electric cars, diesel can still be useful for long journeys and lack of charging options. Be aware that in several countries, diesel engines that emit high levels of pollutants are barred from urban areas.

What body types do the Porsche 986 Boxster have?

The Porsche 986 Boxster is only offered in the cabriolet body type in the UK. Cabrios and convertibles are a great way to add another dimension to the driving experience. Today, most cabrios can be driven year-round as the majority of models have really good hoods and weather gear. Beware that convertibles are typically heavier than normal cars. Because of the lack of roof, thickener is applied underneath the car to strengthen the chassis.
