The Porsche Boxster is the winner of 2005’s respected car report conducted by the German Technical Inspections Association (TÜV). With a defect rating of 2.6 per cent, the mid-engine sports car displays the fewest significant defects in one of the TÜV’s main inspections. For this reason, the Association’s engineers have named the Porsche Boxster as “defect defiant” and thereby as the best car in the group of two to three year old vehicles. QUOTE]

Wow now that's saying something. When I last visited Germany (Cologne and Dusseldorf) I was totally impressed with condition of virtually every car on the road. Every Mercedez taxi (with full leather) I was in was spotless inside and out. Every gas station was immaculate and generally car's that apeeared to be more than six years old were not to be found.
I get the impression that like in America the Boxster is not a principal car for most Germans, they probably have another car for daily use. The low mileage on most Boxsters probably means very few inspection failures. But even if the Boxster were driven everday (assuming you have allot of money for gas) I still think it would be the most reliable 2-3 year old sportscars made in Europe.
