1998 Porsche Boxster from North America - Comments

"Fun car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had to replace a bearing on the driver's side rear axle and recently I had the axle bolts break off on the same axle...related??

My washer fluid pump appears to have stopped working.

My airbag light is on, of course.

I have the turbo rims which none of my local tire shops can seem to change the tires on without gouging scrape marks into.

All in all, I have had less problems with this car than any other car I have had with the exception of a 1986 Bertone X1/9 that I paid $1200 and drove for 3 years with no problems... OK well no MAJOR problems that it didn't have when I bought it. I even sold that car for $1200.

General comments?

I drive this car every day and have put 45,000 miles on it in 2 years with out major problems.

I have the hardtop option which helps a lot in winter, not to mention looks really cool.

I will never buy another car without heated seats again! My seats in the boxster are wonderful in the winter.

The car could use a little more power. I am about to sell this car and upgrade to the Boxster S.

From your review, you seem to have great things to say about the car, so why did you give it a "poor" rating???

The poor/average/excellent rating is based on the numbers you put in for performance, reliability, etc. I have reviews on cars I enjoyed owning, and the rating showed as negative simply because I didn't give it 10s across the board.

The happy or sad face is based on the answer to the question "Would you buy another car from this manufacturer?", not an average of the numerical ratings.
