Consumer Guide
Despite the lack of official testing, the Boxster comes with enough standard safety equipment to put any buyer at ease: anti-lock brakes, traction control, and stability control are all included; dual front and side airbags are standard; and the side airbags pop up from the door sills to function as side-curtain airbags.
If you're looking for high-tech safety gadgets, however, you'll have to look elsewhere, as there are no upgrades to rearview cameras, adaptive cruise control, or lane-departure warning systems. Available parking sensors can make it easier to park the Boxster with its somewhat compromised rear-quarter visibility.
Conclusion
The 2012 Porsche Boxster hasn't been crash-tested, but a strong standard safety feature sheet means it should be safe in the event of an accident.
