The stereo is better than the porsches? How bad is the porsche's stereo!
Quite a reasonable review in all,

Actually at moderate level, I think the stereo is not bad, not great but not bad. but turn it up a little... oh boy... distortion.

Same reaction on the stereo comment. The Porsche's stereo must suck really bad.

Pretty much the same conclusion as most other articles in this area. Bottom line (which we already know): The S2K is a driving/racing machine. It is not happy on the Interstate.

The review is wrong. I used to own a Boxster, the stereo is so-so but definitely better than the S2000.

Most Boxsters are delivered with the "sport package", which offers NO performance upgrades, but does include a "Hi-Fi" stereo (upgraded speakers, amp).

Believe me, the base Boxster stereo truly sucks as bad as the S2000. The early becker head units where even worse, with buttons that where nearly impossible to hit without looking right at them, graphics that wore off the buttons, and very poor reliability.
