Safety - What the Auto Press Says

The 2008 Porsche Boxster comes equipped with a wide array of safety features. The federal government, however, has not yet conducted crash tests on this year's model.

Accident Avoidance

In addition to Porsche Stability Management, every Boxster comes equipped with a four-wheel disc anti-lock braking system. "Through the years, the term 'Porsche brakes' has become a synonym for the ultimate in safe, positive stopping," says Kelley Blue Book. "Best of all, even though it is a convertible, the Boxster is no fair-weather vehicle when it comes to safe and exceptional levels of performance in wet or dry conditions."

Crash Protection

Every 2008 Boxster is equipped with front and side-body air bags for both the driver and passenger.
