They are not all bad
 

Good day all,

I am often reading about all these mechanical problems some guys are having with their Boxster... So I figured I would give some good news.... I live in Montreal Canada, those who know about here are aware that we can have quite a bit of snow, salt on the roads and it can get pretty cold, especially in February... now..the good news..

my daily driver is a 2000 Boxster 2.7 with the sports package. I drive the car all year long, with the 17" in summer and I got a set of originals 16" with winter tires which I put on from end of November to april. The car has 125,000Kms, and I have not had any mechanical problems... In summer I track the car once in a while, but my toy is really my track only 944...

The only thing I can say about the car is that it has annoying problems like the window regulator( I had to change both) get very noisy, the ball joints, I feel are under par (I changed 3 arms) and the car is squeaky... besides that.. apleasure to drive...everyday...

just my 2 cents.

Michel.

Thanks for the positive note, always glad to hear good news.

Thanks for the reminder of how great the Boxster is. Our '00 has 71K miles on it now with only a couple of what I consider minor problems. The only car I have ever owned that was more trouble free was a Jeep Wrangler, but there were no electronics to give you trouble. LOL

Still a joy to drive (when I get to) and will be for years to come. :D

Michel,

We LOVE Montreal!! Mrs. MNBoxster and I were Married at Le Palais du Justice there in 1999 and spent our Honeymoon in Montreal and Quebec City.

We were planning on spending 3 days in QC, but we arrived at the Chateau Frontenac and stayed a day, saw the Parlament, the Walled City, the Latin Quarter, the Citadel, all great, but not nearly the fun we were having in Montreal, so we cancelled our last 2 days and took the Train back to Montreal for 10 more days! Planning a return trip as sort of a 2nd Honeymoon next year!

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
