These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

Consumer Reports rated it a Best Buy with better than average repair history. Owned for 3 years (bought new) and have had no major problems. Even for minor problems, if >1 day in the shop, they either gave me a loaner or a free rental car. |

prone to repair issues |
| 2002 | 2dr Convertible 217-horsepower 2.7L H6 5-speed manual RWD |
No complaints so far.Rumors of 2000 to 2008 motors have a 27 percent chance of blowing due to faulty design of a two piece crankshaft.However many ,many Boxsters have up to 175,000 on them |

these cars have a history of not getting high mileage without having major engine problems. and the cost to rplce the motor is more than the value of the car after repairs. so far I have not had major problems myself. |
