Porsche Boxster & Cayman: Everything You Need to Know About Your Boxster or Cayman (The Ultimate Owner's Guide)

Customer Reviews:

Does what it says on the cover

By Fast986er - November 25, 2010

I didn't know what to expect when I bought this book, but it truly does what it says on the cover. I'm not into stripping my Boxster down, but I want to know what things do when my mechanic tells me what's wrong. Mark Bennett is an English guru on Boxsters and Caymans and he gets the balance right on fixing the things I've sometimes done myself (like rotors and pads, heat shields) and the more complicated jobs. He explains clearly all the basic stuff (do you know how to clean your car properly?) and what you need to do just to run your 986 or 987 everyday as Dr Porsche intended and enjoy it. It's not a shop manual, but it's found a permanent place in my car.
I heard that the reason for the book's delay was that he broke his back. The book was worth the wait and I hope you're well now, Mark.

Not an ultimate guide

By rbfedic - October 18, 2010

I pre-ordered this book for my wife's boxster. The release was delayed almost 18 months after the initial date. The book does not go into enough detail to describe the procedures. It has a lot of photos but again they are not detailed or not highlighted to identify the specific item the author wants you to look at. Arrows or circles would be helpful. It does recommend some very specific brand names of products to use on the boxster that are cheaper/better than the Porsche chemicals but many of them are only available in Europe. It is not a shop manual (it does not claim to be) but just doesn't give enough "meat" in his thoughts and descriptions and procedures for a DIY'er. I was very disappointed.

Quite A Bit Overpriced

By R. DeRaud - September 18, 2011

If the owners manual for your Boxster is missing and this is the only book you can find to buy, fine. But the information in it is largely redundant to other, less expensive, sources. And the remaining "added value" portion is idiosyncratic at best, including such non-mainstream activities as front bumper shell removal and replacement (ostensibly to clean leaves out of the radiators) or, so help me, the proper way to wash your car. Seriously? (Note: anyone who really *needs* to attempt the Kabuki dance required to remove the front bumper shell would be far better off with the Bentley Boxster shop manual or the services of a competent mechanic.)
