New Boxster (and Porsche) owner here, about a month with my 987.1 BS.

I have been surprised how cool it runs. I have gotten used to modern cars running at 200+ °F (for "efficiency"). So to see the temp gauge at 175 or so is quite a shock.

I would not be in the least bit worried with any engine running at 180-200. For an everyday vehicle. run "normally" or even "spiritedly", unless you're seeing well over 200°F under "typical" (under 100° ambient and "just driving") conditions, I wouldn't bee the slightest bit concerned.

OTOH, if you have had the car for 10 years, are very well aware of the historical "behavior" of the engine, and are seeing statistically different readings, that's a whole 'nother story.
