I had the same conversation with Brucelee.
At the RX8 forum the few guys that had problems freaked out everyone else to the point of my leaving the site, along with quite a few others. I went back a couple of months later to see if things got back to people having fun and talking about things they were doing to enjoy their cars.
I was sadly disappointed that the site had become a "********************ing Post" for those who were unhappy and Mazda was bending over backwards and replacing engines considerably out of warranty.
I'm not saying the problems should not be discussed or Porsche could not be doing more to cure the problem, but someone having 50k miles and 27 speed events calling Boxster motors playing the lotto is not exactly fair. I'm not picking anyone out, just the latest example.
The majority of Boxster owners will enjoy many years and thousands of miles with their cars, with little or no trouble.
My dealer says 8 out of 10 Boxster trade-ins have been for newer Boxsters. That says quite a bit to me.
