I was recently contemplating (stand back, I'm thinking!) my three engine failures last year and contrasting that situation with how utterly reliable my car has been in 2015.

This got me to thinking that there seems to be a certain ying and yang to Boxster reliability and ownership - for awhile they can be incredibly reliable but then the car will hit a stretch where the car will need two or three repairs in a row and you start to wonder WTF is going on? Then things calm down and you're back to needing nothing but gas and oil for a year.

Anyone else experience this?
