Our reliability stats for the Boxster and Cayman now include owner experiences through March 31, 2015. (Others are nearly a year behind.)

In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year ("low" is best):

2014 Boxster and Cayman: 17, low
2013 Boxster: 13, low

Plus, the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2014 Boxster and Cayman: 79, < 1
2013 Boxster: 92, < 1

Additional participants always helpful--especially needed for the 2015 and up.

Our reliability stats for the Boxster and Cayman (included below) now cover the year ending June 30, 2015.

Repair trips per 100 cars:

2015 Boxster and Cayman: 0, low, very small sample size
2014 Boxster and Cayman: 14, low
2013 Boxster: 10, low

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2014 Boxster and Cayman: 85, < 1
2013 Boxster: 89, < 1

We especially need more participants for the 2015 and 2016.

We've updated our reliability stats for the Boxster and Cayman to include owner experiences through the end of 2015, about eight months ahead of other sources. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year--lower is better:

2015 Boxster and Cayman: 9, low, small sample size
2014 Boxster and Cayman: 12, low
2013 Boxster and Cayman: 22, low

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2014 Boxster and Cayman: 90, < 1
2013 Boxster and Cayman: 79, < 1

No stat, or a small sample size? Then we especially need more owners involved for that model year.

Michael, I posted for several years on my Audi TT V6 roadster, which is just sold. Added two new cars to "my garage" on your site, and in a month will be adding a third, a new BMW 340i. You run a great service that allows enthusiasts to see what common problems we experience with our cars. TruDelta is valuable and easy to use. Keep the site growing.
