Keep in mind that a lot of the hysteria is created by those who may have something to gain by your fear and that those who own and drive Boxsters trouble free are not apt to post "Wow I've owned my Boxster for ten years, have 200K mi. on it and have only done maintenance!" The last part of your post, about not reading about it, is probably the most appropriate and better you worry more about coming down with a severe health issue that limits or stops your driving your Boxster. If you wake up in a cold sweat every night thinking about your engine self destructing invest $2K and change your IMS to the LN ceramic IMS and your RMS to the new version if it isn't. Long term statistics (actual owner input and not random issues) show the Boxster to be one of the most reliable and economical Porsches to own.
