8 things about the Boxster that I don't like and wish Porsche would fix.

[Perfectlap]

the rattling wind stop and RMS is still an issue on some 987.

glove box? what do you want next a frapucino drink holder?
wipers? If I'm going at least 45mph I don't even turn them on. Water just blows off from the rake of the windshield.

I wish:

1: no electric top, something manual on high quality ball bearings. Saves weight and an no expensive top repair.

2: Turbo headlights like 2002-2004 911. Although the fried eggs are cool. Thank god they didn't put the round 911 light on any Boxsters.

3. they should have sub contracted the design of the gear box to Honda. If they came up with something half as good as the S2000 it would be a 1000% improvement.

4. a lower rear valance. Sits too high off the ground.

5. Get rid of the electric front and door latches. and place the latches in the center arm rest where you arent's scratching them with your shoe.

Great photography DJ. You have a gift.

--Rear view visibility is horrendous and blind spots. Backing up I could easily run over a toddler and not know it.


--Spongy feel of the turn signal and wiper stalks. Should be more like an old BMW or even an old VW air cooler that had a buttery positive feel of a pistol trigger.


-- Needs a rotary fan speed dial, goes from zero to full with a quick turn.


---Most annoying besides the "chop", with HVAC on "manuell", the A/C will cycle if it can. It seems I cannot get ambient air through the vents without the A/C kicking on at some point.
