Does It Bother You That The Porsche Boxster No Longer Has A Flat-Six?
The relentless onward charge of downsizing has hit Porsche once again, with the Boxster losing its sweet N/A flat-six for a turbo flat-four. But does that bother you?
We’ve been expecting it for a while, but it’s finally happened: the Porsche Boxster range has moved to turbocharged four-cylinder power. Sure, the engines are more powerful and have punchier torque outputs - with the 2.0-litre version putting out 25bhp and 66lb ft more than the old 2.7-litre six - plus there’s the economy benefits to think about. But losing that characteristic Porsche flat-six howl does seem like a shame.
So, we want to know what you think. Get voting!

Waiting for comment “noobs porsch has boxer engine not flat six” :D 😂
DOES IT SOUND LIKE A SUBIE
Nope! Flat 4 boxers in my opinion are some of the best sounding engines a car can have.
I don’t really care about the boxter. However, if it was the caymen or 911, I’d be all over it.
With the fun I get out of my 4-banger A3 and the power you can squeeze out of it with mods, it doesn’t bother me at all.
the only girl that has voted has her priorities right.
I’m more concerned that there’s a dodge dart stuck to the back of that Porsche….
If it sounds like a Subaru, I’d like it.
Subarus have Turbo H4 engines. I fail to see the problem here
Not really no, it’s Porsche, it’ll be a great car
