[QUOTE=Perfectlap;424754]Daily driver in a four season climate with north of 100K miles onboard?
Being an ex owner of a 2001 Boxster sold last August I can pass on a couple of tips.
I had it for 3 years and drove it year round including snowy winters and below freezing temperatures.
It had no psm so I took it easy on the corners. I bought good winter tires and never got stuck. However you will hit windrows and it pounds the underside of the car. I know in NY state you get lots of snow.
The final downfall was the camshaft deviation that was out of tolerance. I do not know how it happened but I decided to sell the car with this problem. I do not know if the cold temps contributed to this problem. I now have a Lexus Rx which is more suitable for the winter.
It was the most fun car I have ever had. However I would not recommend it for snowy winters. Why? Too low and vulnerable to other vehicles and increased maintenance costs.
Trust this helps! Guy
