Above is a link to a discussion as to whether current owners would buy another Boxster.. IMO, this is possibly the best way to assess owner satisfaction. Bearing in mind the age of the original 986's, the IMS issues and the cost of maintenance in relation to garden variety cars, the percentage who have no regrets is pretty impressive!
