One of the things I do love about the Boxster is how easy it is to work on at home, and there is a DIY guide for just about every tiny little thing! Quite nice having a community that is 100% for doing your own work. Whenever I owned a newer Audi, trying to find guides on how to do simple things was a chore. Since the most common response was "take it to the dealer!".
At first it seems rather awkward to do stuff with the engine. But in reality it takes less than 3 minutes to remove everything to access the engine, a few more minutes to remove all the undertray stuff underneath it, but it is all very simple.
This is one of the very few cars I have owned, that I honestly do not forsee myself selling anytime soon out of boredom, it is a fascinating car, with amazing performance (even for a base 986 with a 2.5 or 2.7L engine) and just a pure joy to drive, with enough character to keep you entertained, especially if you enjoy working on cars.
