1998 Porsche Boxster Hardtop review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine started to blow out water, cure was to replace the engine at 3000 miles.
Aug 1st 1998 removed the hardtop, powered up the roof and then it stuck in the up position - the electric motors had seperated from the mechanism.
Indicator had a water ingress, this was also changed.
General comments?
This is a great car, after having the original problems sorted by 3500 miles this car has not missed a beat and I would recommend anyone to buy one, this car has so much street cred.
