An ex-collegue and close friend of mine has one. Compared to earlier 911 models, it's operating costs and build quality are pretty good, but he's had quite a few expensive problems. Mostly to do with the top, which has been frustrating.
He also liked to wrench on his previous 86 Carrera, but the Boxster has NO DIY capability at all. The engine and bits are enclosed in a "capsule" under the car and can only be accessed from underneath.
Non-S models are not very quick and don't have any street cred beyond being a Porsche. An S2000, SLK32, or C5 will spank it pretty hard.
However, with some of the 18" Cup wheels they are still, in my opinion, good looking cars.
