Phoenix is demanding on a Porsche Boxster Spyder. Extreme heat, stop-and-go traffic and long highway miles on the I-17, the 51 and the Loop 101 all show up as wear. Below are the Porsche Boxster Spyder problems owners report most often, what each one looks like from the driver's seat, and how we fix it.
