Boxster: Awfully Low to the Ground?

[Adam]

Try entering driveways and slopes at an obtuse angle at slow speed and you should be just fine. I have adhered to this rule and the underside of my front fascia looks the same as the day it left the lot.

I would think you would be ok driving through puddles as long as they didn't go as high as the fans in the front grill. Putting those underwater might have some issues.

You're probably scraping these spoilers in front and on the side of the tires. You need to take elevation changes at a 45% angle (including pulling into/out of driveways and parking lots, because your tires will dip into the drainage swales). These spoilers are relatively cheap to replace. You may already have torn part of them up.

Great pics and great responses. Thanks very much.

Glad i'm not the only one experiencing this.

It does seem that the front facia extends unnecessarily low. I guess this is one example of porsche straying from the form follows function dictum.
