i still have my porsche b/c it's paid off (otherwise i'd trade it in for a toyota x-runner), i think most boxster owners will acknoledge that there are many gremlins such as rms, left window motor, weak oil separator, steering wheel horns that go on by themselves after seal is worn, etc. all these problems in addition to high maintenance costs would steer any practical person away from a porsche. I don't even want to get into 911s which have similar problems for a 80,000+ car. the only things porsche can say they did well on the box was the steering feel, quality wasn't even there until 2005. plus most of us are happy to say we own a porsche. but if you talk to anyone who knows cars or sells cars they will tell you a boxster is a nice car but it's an entry level porsche. with entry level power. the z4 m coupe is a bada55 car.
