Test Drive of the 981 Boxster Spyder: Exquisite Sound and Superb Handling! Also Comparing...

Recently, I wrote a test drive article on the current 718 Spyder, but this time, it’s a review of the previous generation 981 Spyder. I’ve known several people around me who own the 981 Spyder, so I’ve seen it many times and felt familiar with the car. Also, since it’s a sibling model to the 981 Boxster GTS that we have at home, it always felt very close to me. Perhaps because of that, I...
