I just started my research on these cars. I would love to know common problems they have, driving characteristics, the good the bad, etc.
I will have to sell my teener (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) and current daily diver VW both to buy a Boxter thanks, Levon |

had a 1999 2.5L for 5 years....Zero problems
on the S models they had a lot of RMS leaking problems that required either replacing the RMS or if they found a case problem, a replacement motor. some of them have power steering pump/rack problems. My car was AXed for 2-3 years and was on track for at least 5-6 track days. Maybe more. As a daily driver it was the best Porsche I have ever owned....period, and I have had 8 different, soon to be 9, Porsches. AC that actually blows cold air even when it is 100* outside. you can cruise or you can drive it hard, it doesn't matter it will do it all very well. All the folks that say it is a chicks car have never driven one properly or they are just jealous. If I were in the market for a newer Porsche, I would definitely look for another Boxster... Check out www.renntech.org and www.babblers.org two very good sites for Boxster information and tech stuff. good luck. Attached image(s)
