2000 Porsche Boxster review from North America
"Awesome ride, best sports car in its class"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking main engine seal at 97,000 km.
Leaking spark plug seal at 97,000 km.
Replaced spark plugs, ceramic covers and plug coils at 97,000 km.
New clutch at 97,000 km.
General comments?
Besides a few problems that occurred as a result of improper maintenance by the previous owners, the car runs like a dream.
The power and handling of this car with the 2.7 L 217 HP engine is amazing. The engine note at high RPM is very unique and makes a Porsche what it is.
Braking is very quick and responsive.
Manual 5 speed transmission is smooth shifting and the clutch transition is seamless.
The seats are very comfortable, the interior dash controls are well placed and all work as they should.
Coffee cup holder would have been nice, but it is a Porsche.
