DOOR sounds like a an OLD Pickup TRUCK door on closing

[JTP]

The doors on my 35 yr old Vega shuts with a more solid feel than on my Boxster. Very disappointing.

My boxster sounds exactly like a 1988 911 vert...

Heheh, which is to say: it sounds like a well built vert. The door swing is solid, and the latching is solid, but the moment it smacks together it has some vibration too it.

FYI, my 06 Honda Civic sounds like a vault in comparison (Whoompf!). My 08 Legacy GT (frameless windows) sounds actually slightly less solid than the boxster.

Thanks All,

So, 3 sorta crappy sounding, 1 good (but not now, checked to see if the latches are loose?)

Convertibles’ by nature don’t have the same rigidity as a coup of course so my expectation aren’t to high but the passenger side sounds a lot better and it's been t-boned before. I would think then the passenger side isn’t really as good as it could be. That makes the driver side real bad.

It just kinda wrecks the experience for me, makes me grit my teeth

Funny thing, Lexus cheats, they have super special “tuned” composite dampening pads strategically placed allover the place to make the whole car seem so solid.
