Met a guy yesterday with 208,000 miles on his 1998 Boxster. No engine problems whatsoever.

Anectdotal evidence is just that. We can all find as many examples as we want to backup our position.

As for me, I am going with the best data that there is and that is Consumer Reports reliability history which says that Boxster engines are very reliable.
