i'm definately not going to buy another porsche again, there are alot of boxster owners out there that have no warranty, and if it goes out then it's not work fixing the heap of crap. screw the performance if you have to pay for new engines (upgrading to a 3.4 cost money only to still be unsure about the RMS in the new engine). imo, the boxster is the most unreliable car with the best performance you can buy for the money. since i've had mine i've had to fix:


radio (grounding noise when i use gas pedal)
window regulator broke
mass air flow sensor
wheel bearings (this is my doing)
convertible top doesn't always clamp straight when it's closing.
window seals sometimes leak
ac sometimes doesn't want to work just have to turn off/on the car to reset

i've had my vw passat for 10 years and have only had to relplace the power steering pump and now a heater core.

i'm not bashing the boxster, i love to drive mine when it works. but it is one poorly engineered machine. this was the 2nd worst car i've ever bought as far as little gremlins. 1st was a saab. imo porsche has forgotten about quality and are building mass breaking machines.
