  Fun to drive, exhilaration, hesitation - 2009 Porsche Boxster
  By HoustonOwner - June 16 - 6:30 pm

  Ive had my 2009 Boxster for about a month. I love the car but Im having an issue with hesitation. The dealers computer doesnt find any problems with the engine, but the car clearly hesitates sometimes. Im not sure if the problem is with the PDK. It feels more like a problem with fuel injection. Its very annoying. From a dead stop when I press the gas pedal, I want the car to GO, not sputter and cough. Whats the deal Porsche?

  Rock solid dependable awesome fun! - 2009 Porsche Boxster

  This is the best balanced car Ive ever owned with no handling faults I can even think of. Its just an all around fun car to drive and care for. Oil changes and other maintenance is a bit expensive, but the maintenance intervals are spaced far enough apart that although each service is rather expensive ($450+), they dont come often enough to be excessive - especially for a car of this level. Like a loyal hunting dog, it just begs to go and play every time I walk into the garage. No unscheduled problems, so far with 32K miles on the odo.
