Pros Cons of Porsche Boxster

Pros

  • Cabriolet style
  • Quick
  • Style edition

Cons

  • Turning radius
  • Low ground clearance
  • Less boot space

Verdict

The 7-inch touchscreen is standard, and comes with Porsche Communication Management. Apple CarPlay is part of standard equipment while it's optional in other markets. Android Auto doesn't have an existence in the 718 yet. It has been launched at ₹ 85.53 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. Is it a practical car for Indian roads - assuming you have that kind of cash? The answer is no - but it is certainly more so now over the car it's replacing, and dare I say even more so than its legendary brother 911.

Pros Cons of BMW Z4

Pros

  • Strong six-cylinder engine
  • Available with a six-speed manual gearbox
  • Quick-folding soft-top roof
  • Well-balanced ride and handling

Cons

  • Ground clearance of 114 mm is very low
  • Missing a few premium features, like ventilated seats
  • The cabin feels tight for taller individuals
  • Rearward visibility is poor with the roof up

Verdict

Being one of the last true sports roadsters you can buy today, the BMW Z4 does not try to be an oversized luxury cruiser or an overly complex technology showcase. Instead, it keeps its fundamentals simple: a powerful engine at the front, drive going to the rear wheels, and an open roof above your head.

Moreover, the Pure Impulse Edition’s six-speed manual proves that the brand still cares about the pure joy of driving. It has that raw and engaging feel that is rarely experienced in the modern car market today, and the automatic variant is still a superb choice for daily driving. If you’re browsing the market for a stylish, fast, and good-looking sports car, this machine is definitely worth your attention before such engines disappear forever.

Girish summarises the BMW Z4 like this,

“Choose this car if you want precision, no-nonsense performance, and a premium open-top experience.”
