I'm looking into buying a boxster and was wondering from you owners if it's inconvenient not having easy access to the engine. I've seen web instructions on how to remove the engine cover and it seems pretty elaborate. It's not like just popping open a hood. From your experience do you ever need to get to the engine? If you need to remove the cover how long does it take? Can most of the servicing be done from underneath the car?
