San Diego? It's almost cold there in summer 25 - 26 C daytime max. Ideal climate but not hot normally. TO has had some very bad summers lately but it's much warmer than SD.

In my opinion the boxster engine package runs waaay too hot (save winter) no matter where you are. Have a look at vented mid engine Ferrari bays and the like and you will see what I mean. It doesn't matter if your temp gauge is steady.

Depends on where in San Diego you are. I am inland and it is often 10-15 warmer than the coast
Its been pretty frickin hot here many days over 100 F
I also take her out to the desert and have never had an overheating problem. The only time I have seen my temp gauge move higher than the middle of the 8 was at the track and then it went between the 8 and 0
