Used 2001 Porsche Boxster Consumer Reviews
Engine Needing Replacing
I've had this car 2.5 years, put on 10,200 miles and it developed an oil leak. Took it into the Dealership, they recommeded a 15,000 mile service because the time I had owned it not the mileage on it. Left the car there, got a call saying the car had a bad seal that could not be repaired and they needed to replace the engine. One good thing, Porsche is picking up the tab because it's still under warranty. But why is a Boxster S with 10,200 miles need a new engine?
Great 2nd Car
As anyone who has drien one will know, this is not a great primary car. If you must drive it aruond every day, expecially on long distances, it may not be for you. If you are able to pick up a second car, definately consider the Boxter. I am most impressed with the handling and pickup. I could not be happier.

no regret
my triple black boxter is slower than the bmw m3 I replaced it for but I am looking into engine upgrades. I get a lot more looks on the road with the boxter and lots of complements. Not as fast as the 95 ferrari 355 but lower maintnence. This is not a honda so dont complain when you take it in for service or a 190 dollar porsche oil change. wonder how much safty fetures they put in it?? a lot and how did they fit everything so tight?? My bmw m3 would take the off ramp at 45-50 and the porsche boxter holds it tight at 60mph though one time at 65 she sliped a little so there is a limit.
Mistake
Oil changes & maintenance are expensive and hard to find good people
