"The Cayman and the Boxster still exemplify, even heighten, classic Porsche values such as a flat-six's raspy purr, steering that's telepathic, and brakes that can almost stop the Earth's rotation," states Car and Driver Magazine.

Car and Driver’s 10 Best list is compiled every year by the editorial staff based on a car’s quality, performance, value and driver satisfaction.  The winners were chosen out of 60 contenders, all priced under $80,000. Click here to start looking at our amazing inventory! Watch the video below!
