315-horsepower 3.4L H6 7-speed automated manual RWD
| 24300 mi | Headlight covers were cracking and the headlight assemblies were replaced. |
| 13000 mi | Convertible top would not fully retract and displayed a top system fault. Intermittent fault, it works some times. The San Antonio TX dealer diagnosed the problem, but could not fix because I live in Florida and had to drive it home. |
| 13800 mi | Top fixed by my local dealer. Problem was as described earlier, top would not go down. Dealer replaced the micro-switches on the top frame and this cleared the fault. |
| 29000 mi | The tabs that hold the passenger floor mat had torn/broken. They lifted the carpet and replaced the parts. |
| 40000 mi | I was in for the 40K mile maintenance and had a couple issues addressed. The first was the windshield header trim seemed warped. The tech discovered it was partially popped off and re-seated it. The second was tiny rust bubble under the paint at the windshield on the drivers side. They have submitted this up to evaluation by corporate. |
| 41000 mi | Tiny rust bubble at windshield fixed. |
| 5500 mi | I had a top fault control error. The dealer replaced the 2 relay switches, one on each side of car behind seats under the convertible top. The cost would have been ~$1000 for parts and labor but the dealer paid for it per my purchase agreement. |
| 26000 mi | Replaced convertible top roof seals to address wind noise at freeway speed. |

2013 Porsche Boxster 2dr Convertible
265-horsepower 2.7L H6 7-speed automated manual RWD
| 29000 mi | There seems to be a problem with quite a few of these cars involving the interior material on the doors .. Evidently the "glue" that holds them in place is not holding up and the material is lifting away from the panels... Porsche will not "own up " to this problem ... They want you to buy new panels at $1000 each.... rather than repairing the existing ones... |
| 18900 mi | Strange noise coming from inside door panel |
| 18000 mi | both interior door panels exhibited glue delamination on the upper portion closest to the window. |
| 19000 mi | convertible top stopped working. Dealer replaced convertible tops 2 motors and the control module. |
