Not many boxster came with PSM. Going by how many boxsters I've bought I would say maybe 1 out of 10. I have TC on my 2000 and despise it. Mine goes off all the time if I forget to turn it off. Every time I try to take off fast it cuts the motor. It's even worse in the corners. It's become a habit now when I get in the car. Put key in ignition, start car car, turn off the TC. I wish I could eliminate it but on the later years with TC you can't.

^^ This. ^^

I also have TC and it might be helpful if I was driving on ice but otherwise its useless because the levels are set so low it continually comes on.

I have PSM on my 2003 S, I really like it.
It letīs me go all the way to the limit and a bit past, but not loose control. Feels very predictable and "just right".
