So I spent some time this weekend reading up on the 2005 Boxster S and had myself convinced that I was going to go out today - drive one and place and order. But then I found the threads on this RMS problem that Porsche has been having and started wondering how reliable the car would be. Especially given how much of the car is new for this year. It would kill me to drop 60k for a car and find a puddle of oil under it or have it in and out of the shop on a regular basis.
Should this problem or the fact that this car is new for this year cause me any concern? Veteran Porsche folks? How about owners of the 2005 Boxsters, what has been your experience thus far?
I currently have a 2000 Honda S2000 which I'd be selling. It has has provided me with 5 years of trouble free driving (change the oil every 3k and fill it with gas). So I'm having a hard time getting over the reliability issue.
But I really, really, want a Boxster S.
Thanks.
