We've updated our reliability stats for the Boxster and Cayman to include owner experiences through the end of 2015, about eight months ahead of other sources.

In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year--lower is better:

2015 Boxster and Cayman: 9, low, small sample size
2014 Boxster and Cayman: 12, low
2013 Boxster and Cayman: 22, low
2009 Boxster and Cayman: 32, low, small sample size
2008 Boxster and Cayman: 38, low
2007 Boxster and Cayman: 42, low
2006 Boxster and Cayman: 32, low
2005 Boxster: 45, low
2004 Boxster: 41, low, small sample size
2003 Boxster: 56, low
2002 Boxster: 48, low
2001 Boxster: 54, low
2000 Boxster: 64, low, small sample size

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2014 Boxster and Cayman: 90, < 1
2013 Boxster and Cayman: 79, < 1
2008 Boxster and Cayman: 76, 3
2007 Boxster and Cayman: 67, 4
2006 Boxster and Cayman: 76, < 1
2005 Boxster: 60, < 1
2001 Boxster: 57, < 1

No stat, or a small sample size? Then we especially need more owners involved for that model year.

We've updated our reliability stats for the Boxster and Cayman to include owner experiences through June 30, 2016. Reliability information elsewhere is based on a survey conducted in April 2015--well over a year ago.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year (lower is better):

2016 Boxster and Cayman: 30, moderate, small sample size
2015 Boxster and Cayman: 24, moderate, small sample size
2014 Boxster and Cayman: 27, moderate
2013 Boxster: 26, low
2009 Boxster and Cayman: 15, low, small sample size
2008 Boxster and Cayman: 49, low
2007 Boxster and Cayman: 37, low
2006 Boxster and Cayman: 31, low
2005 Boxster: 44, low
2004 Boxster: 32, low, small sample size
2003 Boxster: 58, low
2002 Boxster: 28, low, small sample size
2001 Boxster: 54, low

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2014 Boxster and Cayman: 76, < 1
2013 Boxster: 82, < 1
2008 Boxster and Cayman: 54, < 1
2007 Boxster and Cayman: 69, < 1
2006 Boxster and Cayman: 74, < 1
2005 Boxster: 61, < 1
2001 Boxster: 65, 3

We'll have further updates in November and next February. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.
