• Three times for headlight adjustments in the beginning (long story)
• At least five times for stereo problems
• Once for a busted transmission (replaced under warranty, not my fault)
• Once for streaks in the rearview mirror
• Three times for the cab top tension ropes coming loose
• Once for busting an underbody panel on a raised "manhole cover" at a gas station
• Numerous times for squeaks and rattles
• Twice for rattling/resonance from exhaust
• Twice for cosmetic defects in the hazard switch
• Once for a flat tire
• Once for the dealer to repair the scratch they gave the rim while replacing the tire

...and there's probably stuff I've forgotten. The combination of the above probably amounts to about ten trips to the dealer. Other than the transmission problem, nothing too major.

Doesn't bother me though, other than the repeat problems with the stereo and cab top tension ropes. If anything, the dealer gives me a rental car when I go in which saves me mileage on the Boxster. Hell, I'd probably have another 500+ miles on the car if not for the dealership trips.

Yeah, maybe I have a Friday/Monday car. Or maybe the 2006's are just that much more solid.

(or, maybe I'm more anal than you!)

edit: oh and I'm glad I didn't scare you off. I'd probably still buy another one of these today. If my car ends up being a "lemon"...

Mine was built to order too, so I think the answer to that thought is "No".
