You aren't alone. I don't own a Boxster, but a good friend who has one of a similar vintage and mileage makes similar complaints. Windows go up and down by themselves, rear spoiler goes up and down by itself, many other bits failing, oh, and the clear-coat is peeling off. Etc. Then again, others are blissfully happy with their Boxsters.

There is no way for me to explain why one of those cars is good, and the next not, but finally, Porsche or not, there is nothing sacred about the thing. It's just a machine, so if it really irritates you, dump it and find the comfort you seek.

I will need a new DD before long, and although I will have to hold my nose while I do it, I might even get a little cute SUV with an automatic. It's the only way they sell these things nowadays.

So, I keep my cantankerous 911 in the workshop so that I can feel pleased with myself when I figure out problem number 39 or 40, and actually fix it.
