Is this true? Can anyone with a 2005 or later attest to this? If it is true, it definitely detracts from buying a 2005+ IMHO! I love the sound of the engine!

You have to take into account that the "review" is actually just some guy who hangs out on epinions, writing lots of "reviews". It's based on a
test drive of Boxster from a dealership. and the guy is a professed Porsche hater, as he wrote "The upshot: I must admit to a not entirely rational prejudice against Porsches so strong that it has prevented me from even driving the cars."
Yeah... that "review" just
oozes credibility.
