You are having lots more problems than the average. But an average is made up with some extremes.

The odd thing is you aren't having any of what I consider to be the Top 12 Problems reported with Boxsters. I don't see lots of reports on any of your problems ... meaning not that I don't see any but the reports aren't numerous on the 4 Boxster forums I've monitored for the past 4 years.

No RMS, Ignition Switch, AirBag Light, MAF dirty, etc.

I wouldn't hesitate to race the car.

I would be upset that the PPI didn't catch the CV boots and the bearing. I know the several inspections I've watched on my Boxsters would have because they mentioned they were looking for them.
