According to this website, Boxster engines are an absolute nightmare. I have a 2001 Boxster and touch wood never had a problem in a year. Reading the suff on here though doesn't fill me with confidence and it can ruin the driving experience worrying the engine is about to self-destruct at any moment. Wish I'd never read this crap now.
