Mileage?
1 - 20 of 27 Posts
41,500 or so in 26 months (slowed way down due to Corona), about 4,300 miles of that on track, 14,000 in winter driving. I work from home so not a single mile of that has been a commute. Warranty issues:
1. I had an early build so that bad 3rd gear transmission that was replaced
2. Once of my changeover valves replaced
3. Window got slightly misaligned so the glass would rub the fixed rear piece
Other than that no issues, recent oil analysis shows everything in great shape.

About 11,200 miles now on a 2017 CS. Bought CPO with just at 5,000 miles, so about 6,200 miles in a year and a half. Other than a number of replaced tires and a bent rim (all repaired under tire and wheel coverage) I had an O2 sensor replaced under warranty early on.

I have 20,000 miles on my BB since April 2017. I've driven it around Colorado, New Mexico and Utah so far. I'm almost done with the second set of tires. Planning to go up to Jackson WY in the fall. I consider it a grand tourer. Only glitch was a minor but annoying driver's door rattle that was fixed early on.

How many of those miles have been trying to keep up with those at the front?

Just put my second set of Porsche recommended tires on the rear of my 2017 718 Boxster at 30,000 miles . Never on a track or real hard driving. Asked the dealer why I wasn't getting better mileage. His answer which makes sense that Porsche recommended tires have a soft rubber compound for better performance but wear out very fast. If you aren't pushing the car and want more mileage then you should buy tires with a harder rubber compound but you will lose some traction. He said don't expect over 15,000 miles on a set of Porsche recommended tires.

Averaging 15k miles per set of rear tires on a sports car is FANTASTIC!
Just popped Carmen's 1-year cherry. She's a 2019 CB orig. designed to be an engaging bi-daily driver. We used to scream up & down 280 to SF on the daily - 100 miles daily. (If you live & work in Cali, you're probably thinking "don't you mean crawling?" -- roads are conspicuously empty at 5:30am and backroads to avoid traffic is love in the afternoon).
Before the 'Rona, we would've averaged 10k work miles and about 2k "fun" miles eating twisties swimming with Redwoods.
SIP put the kibosh on that. I'm stuck hovering around 6,500 (there's only so many groceries one can buy; being forgetful has become a petrolicious virtue).

Adding on / just came back from the complimentary 1-year checkup, only gripes the past year were mostly electronics.
- The 3rd brake light sensor lit up once, but couldn't repeat (chalked up to bumpy streets)
- Parking brake light was blinking once during a mid-SIP move for street sweepers (shakes fist)
- ...and the rear shoes are apparently getting broken in at a faster rate (5mm) than anticipated
I'd like to make it an achievement unlock to hit 15k before I change out the stock tires (Eagle F1s).

Dare I say it, but, so far it seems the F4 motors are solid, no RMS, IMS, D-chunk cylinder bores, oval cylinder bores, etc. These are some of the surprise!-your-engine-is-toast faults of the old F6's. Knock on wood... Chime in if anyone knows of any generic F4 engine problems. The odd ancillary can apparently act up on occasion (turbo, ac), but, well, on balance, not bad.
My 2017 CS was new in Aug 2017, and I've averaged about 6800 mi per year. Mine has 20" Goodyear tires, and they've lasted well, with finally new rears at 20,400mi. Still not down to the wear bars but winter was coming on so last Oct I put on new Goodyear rears. Here are the tread depths on the original tires at that point (in 32nd of an inch moving from outer groove inwards):
LR = 43334
RR = 54445
RF = 7777
LF = 6777
The tires had been switched/remounted left-right at 18000 mi. as the right side was wearing more than the left. Seems these rears could have lasted me well into the low-mid 20,000's... and I'll be looking at a new full set of 4 at ~45,000.
Car is totally stock except I've pulled the soundaktor fuse. And it's had two replacement windshields due to roadway rock impacts. No mechanical problems but early-on there was a fault with the front electronic control module and it was replaced.
This Washington state car has traveled into the Canadian Rockies, California, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona more than once. No commuting, minimal use around town, primarily highway driving, no track use. Fuel mileage has averaged 28.87mpg since new.

I purchased my Boxster S (PDK/Crayon/Black) in Nov 2018. I've done 22,148 kms (= approx 13,760 miles).No problems with wear on tyres. Just a few flats. I have a wheel alignment organised every 6 months or so. My driving (unfortunately) is work/home/work - all city and CBD. I drive the car nearly every day.

I have 24,000 on my OEM Goodyear's and have good tread left. Never tracked. Drive to work and grocery. Roads are good to marginal in some areas. Driving safe but aggressive regularly. Had Pirelli's on my 911 and they definitely did not last long, shorter with nail punctures
