My 981 Cayman is very maintenance friendly. I’ve done oil, transaxle oil, spark plugs (tight space but doable), brakes, etc. It is quite a bit easier than the 718 since you have to remove underpanels to gain access to the underside of engine/transaxle.
For me as an owner of a 2019 Hyundai Veloster with 60k and after 5 years of ownership , the only thing I had to do was change the oil , filter and brake pads.
I am just now contemplating a sad goodbye to my 2003 Elantra VLE. It needs a brake job but has become a rust bucket driving in harsh winter conditions, Ottawa, Montreal.
I had a 996.2 and an early 2.5L 986 and I loved the Boxster more. One of the best cars I've owned. I drove it back and forth from NC to WI several times. I am 6'5" and had luggage room to spare. It made better sounds than the 996. It was not very fast. It was pretty easy to work on and every single DIY job is well documented online. It was really comfortable. The handling is awesome, the brakes are awesome. Even the base ones.
I have a 21 Kona this was my 3rd winter with it here in NL, no rust proofing and they love using 1000% salt on our roads, no issue on my whatsoever. I have it checked every time we get our wheels changed sometimes they have to greese the pins on the breaks but no corrosion or anything.
I own a 1999 996 C2. I have had the car for over 10 years. I bought it with 70k miles, and it now has 169,000 miles.
It is in the garage now waiting for front brakes. Have the parts, just got busy.
I'm not sure if it counts, but I put porsche brakes on the front and TTRS brakes on the rear.
We got our top of the line 2015 Starex brand new when it was released in 2016. Still works, did have a lot of repairs. It used to travel to and from QC to Baguio in it's early days but now mainly within Metro Manila (QC to Las Pinas, QC to Manila). It's got a lot of mileage now and the suspensions and break pads need fixing on top of having electricals reworked (fuses of some functions had to be removed cause they were malfunctioning). Basically running po siya but needs a lot of work done.
then somehow the brake pads fell off, the windscreen wiper stopped working in the middle of a storm
the brakes had a fault in them though, they would grind and needed a new discs
