Our reliability stats for the Boxster and Cayman (included below) now cover the year ending June 30, 2015. (Others are over a year behind, and so report how these cars were doing when a year younger.)
Repair trips per 100 cars:
2004 Boxster: 33, low, small sample size
2003 Boxster: 36, low
2002 Boxster: 30, low
2001 Boxster: 65, low
2000 Boxster: 61, 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:
2001 Boxster: 57, < 1
Note: many of these cars are not daily drivers.

We've updated our reliability stats for the Boxster to include owner experiences through June 30, 2016. Reliability information elsewhere is based on a survey conducted in April 2015--well over a year ago.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year (lower is better):
2004 Boxster: 32, low, small sample size
2003 Boxster: 58, low
2002 Boxster: 28, low, small sample size
2001 Boxster: 54, 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:
2001 Boxster: 65, 3
We'll have further updates in November and next February. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.
