I owned a Boxster (2 of them) over 6 years and aside from the expense of the tires (going highest priced was my choice and not necessary) my expenses were much less than owning a Hoda and an Acura over the same period. It was my daily driver for all but the snow days (and I did sneak out on some of them..I recall scraping 8 inches of snow off the car cover just so I could take it out as soon as the roads were ice free).

Others have had less happy experiences.

I attribute mine to several items: good luck buying and a good PPI. A great mechanic who took care of all the potential issues via a 60k service plus I had at about 42k just after I bought it. And thereafter, I did some of my own work, did some via cheaper mechanics (O2 sensor change at a muffler shop, for example...oil changes at a quick change place with me bringing the parts and oil), used original equipment parts and independent mechanics where needed (and it wasn't needed even once a year on average).
