The boxster always starts out in 2nd gear unless you really punch the gas. Or if you swap it into the tiptronic mode and downshift before starting out. I could'nt tell you the "scientific" reason behind this but I would think its got something to do w/ fuel economy or less wear on the transmission. I'm sure there are others out there that can give some more input on the reasoning. To answer your question it is normal.
