In almost all reports about the “new” 997 it can be read that the engine sound leaves hard to be desired. In the AUTO newspaper it says: “Only with the sound rating the boxer – big surprise – can not keep up completely. In the idle run dominates the hard combustion noise of the direct injection, only at higher speeds and full speed the attentive listeners hear an idea of the old boxer howling.” That doesn’t sound euphoric. If that’s the case with the Boxster, then I like to skip the new engine generation and order the current Boxster again. Markus
