Porsche 911 Vs Porsche Boxter

Porsche 911 vs Porsche Boxter

The Porsche 911. The German-made sports car has been produced since 1963. This particular model has a six-cylinder boxer engine with plenty of power, with a top speed of around 190mph, 0-60 in 4 to 5 seconds. Even beyond the six-cylinder engine, the 911 is also useable every day, rides extremely well for a sports car, and has proven to feel very smooth on long motorway trips. There’s also a fair amount of luggage space for a typically small car which comes in useful for various scenarios. It has undergone continuous development, since 1963 it has gone through the basic concept while the car kept on improving as new ones came out, becoming bigger, faster, and more technologically advanced.

The Porsche was such a well-rounded car that teams modified the 911 for racing and rallying as the years went on and this turned out to be highly successful. The Porsche in the image above was transformed into the motor below specially for racing. The 911 is very versatile, whether it is used for comfort, leisure, cruising or speed – it has all of these things for a wide variety of people. Everything from turbocharging and four-wheel drive to automatic gearboxes and roll cages – there is a 911 out there to suit everyone. 



The 911 came fifth in the 1999 international poll to determine the Car of the Century. It is one of two in the top five that had remained continuously in production, showing how consistent and surprisingly practical the car has always been throughout. 

The value for money for this car is well worth it. As well as the 911 being fast, sporty and enjoyable to drive, it is also the perfect family car. Family life works satisfyingly while using this car as it can be bought as a four seater and can be used as a daily hack - going shopping, doing school runs, cruising on family trips and more, proving it can be the best of both worlds.


Above is the Porsche 911’s little brother – the Porsche Boxster. The term ‘little brother’ comes along as there is a significant jump in the performance and power on the track, with the 911’s speed being more rapid and overall it is simply the faster of the two. this is one of a few differences. These include factors such as the Boxter being the better handling car between the two because of its mid-engined placement making it more stable to drive, whereas the engine in the 911 is at the rear end of the car making it more unpredictable at high speeds. In these particular models, as seen in the images the Boxter is a convertible, making this car perfect for driving in the warm weather. Two great cars with much to offer making it difficult to choose a favourite overall.

Mercedes: CLS vs S Class

  CLS 250 Powered by a twin-turbo 2.1-litre diesel engine with 201bhp and 369lb ft of torque, the CLS 250 CDI not only has more than adequate performance but also gives usefully lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions than any of its six-pot siblings. This diesel is more refined than any other Mercs and in any case, everything becomes silky and quiet when it reaches over the 30mph mark, aided by a very smooth seven-speed paddle-shift automatic gearbox. Along with this, with so much torque, its in-gear performance is very impressive. One of the CLS’s biggest attributes is its eye catching cabin. Its shallow windows create a coupé-like scenery and it has enough extra luxury features to make it feel more high-end than an E-class. The CLS is also noticeably more agile than the equivalent E-class; you wouldn’t call it sporty, but it’s highly satisfying to drive – and not just at speed on a motorway. Well worth purchasing as a cheaper version with many of the same aspects making t...

Focus vs RS

  Ford Focus   This particular model is a 2010 Ford Focus. The focus was first introduced in 1988. The car had everything, from its combination of dashing looks, flexible packaging and engaging handling, the focus was up there with the very best. Twenty years and four generations later, the Focus can still be found at the top of its game.   The Ford Focus can be seen as a competitively priced family hatchback as well as having attention given to driver enjoyment and driving quality, along with interior space and practicality. A good range of petrol and diesel engines compliments the car even more meaning people can choose the type of focus which suits them best. In terms of size, the Ford Focus sits neatly between the smaller Ford Fiesta and large Ford Mondeo. There’s also an estate version of the Ford Focus if you need even more space and practicality.   Overall an extremely worthy car to rely on, competitively priced against it’s biggest competito...

BMW: X5 vs 5 Series

  X5 The latest BMW X5 adds to the appeal of its predecessors with new platform engineering that sees a significant tech upgrade to infotainment and safety systems, but also brings improvements to practicality and design. The X5’s styling is crisp and contemporary, with a luxurious interior that moves the game on considerably in the latest BMW style. There are limited engine choices, but each version delivers admirable performance and efficiency. The addition of an Off Road package brings an extra dimension to the X5 as well, although the focus is still very much on-road handling and performance.  The origional was launched way back in 1999, which was notable for helping to popularise the concept of an SUV with four-wheel drive and a chassis set up exclusively for swift road use. There are two trim levels to pick from. The xLine comes with 19-inch alloys, LED headlights and tail-lamps, air suspension and luxuries such as heated leather seats, parking assist and wireles...
