I believe that these forums sometimes seem like doom and gloom with all of the posts about problems, but if no one is having any problems, then they are much less apt to post a question. Whereas, if someone is having a problem, they are more likely to post their situation in hopes of another owner providing advice or piece of mind about their problems/concerns based upon their experiences. These cars are not as shadetree mechanic friendly as other brands and parts and repairs can by a qualified mechanic can get pretty expensive.

I've had a few problems, and spent quite a bit having those problems repaired, but overall I've found my Boxster to be remarkedly reliable and a pure pleasure to drive. I, for one, am glad we have a place to post these types of questions and in no way do I do so to scare anyone from purchasing a Boxster of their own. I hope to be a Porsche owner until I draw my last breath. It is going to take that long for me to save up for that GT3.....
