This is my opinion, but the ratio of amount of vehicles sold vs people having to replace a blown motor seems higher with the 2003/04 crowd.
It may be a simple matter of numbers. There were 132,217 Boxsters made between 1997 and 2002. For 2003 & 2004 there were only 32,646 (17,325 Base, 13,368 S & 1,953 SE550). It seems to me there are a lot fewer '03-'04 engines to begin with.
