Hi,
I expected that many would begin to point out the flaws in other cars (not that this is really relevant to the troubles the Boxster experiences), and many other cars certainly have them.
But, a couple of points; the engine flaws in the Boxster can, and often do, lead to engine failure and require engine replacement. Also, when the PCNA Service Rep says that these failures affect 20-22% of all the cars, that's a tremendous number.
Sure, a mainshaft may have failed in the Miata for the '99 model year, but, they corrected it the following year (unlike Porsche which just continues to produce engines they know to be faulty, because people are so gullable or want a Porsche (even a flawed one) that badly), and the failure rate was more like 2%, not 1-in-5 like the Boxster. Add-in things like reputation, price difference, and the Parent Company's indifference to the issue, and the Boxsters foibles loom much larger...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
