Porsche 718 Boxster
Price Starting at $58,450
The Boxster continues to embody automotive excellence, which earns it a spot yet again on our 10Best Cars list for 2018. With a pair of torque-rich turbo fours (the base is a 300-hp 2.0-liter; the S gets a 350-hp 2.5-liter) the Boxster never dallies, and this mid-engine roadster’s dynamics are nearly perfect. A GTS model is new for 2018 and tunes the S’s 2.5-liter flat-four to 365 hp. Many desirable features cost extra, but the standard folding top is the only bauble that really matters.
