i.e., water pump, IMS, RMS, front engine mounts, engines not making it 100K miles, the ommissions of the Porsche product design team to make our Boxster better, etc, it amazes me that we conitinue to patronize such a poor product (my self included). We either have too much money, or lack the common sense to spend it wisely. I do understand that other cars may also have some problems, but not to the extent of the Boxster. The cost to repair a boxster can run hunderds of dollars more to repair as compared to a common car. I Am dissapointed. It is my daily driver and I worry about it every day whether it will last the day, or not. For those of you who only drive it once a week or keep it in the garage so that you can say that you have a Porsche, perfomance, or it running may not be an issue with you. If I had followed these forums more carefully in the begining, I definitily would not have bought the boxster. Currently, I am into it until the end, or until the repair cost exceeds the sanity of maintaining it.

Now that I am done ranting and raving----the Boxster does have some nice features. The stying is fine, the inerior is quality, the curves are sexy, and it drives very nible and accurate. If the engine and components were just worth a crap...................Either way, my next car will not be a Boxster. Does anyone have any knowledge of the 911? Does it have the same issues as the Boxster, i.e., IMS, RMS, etc? Is it a better car? A more dependable car?
