Yes, enough problems on ours that Porsche finally bought it back. Everything that could go wrong did ... electronics; top replaced; peeling paint; lug nuts; new engine etc etc etc... at one point it sat at the dealership for almost 6 weeks.

But Porsche was fair, they supplied loaner car (not a Porsche), valeted car back and forth etc. The beastie was just a Lemon ... those things happen. Would we buy from Porsche again ... yes.... just not a first year model.

A major tune-up at 100km costs 10k. But I am not sure if I am still driving that Boxster at 100k km.

You're kidding.  A major service on a 911 Turbo involves REMOVING the driveline and it won't cost close to that.  There isn't an indie Porsche mechanic in his/her right mind that would charge anything like $10K for any routine service, on ANY model.  The most I've EVER heard of someone dropping is in the $3500 range for a major service, and that was on a late-model 911TT.

There were some major engine problems with the 2001 911s too...  heard of one car that's now on its third engine!
