Below third the car has some issues. Second gear is just like a big old wart on a pretty girl. The goofy clutch takeup does not help. Neither does that big torque hole around 3500 rpm
The sound tube has got to go; the boxter engine does not have a nice sound to start with, why did they make it intrusive?

The first two I can pretty much get behind.
I think the sound tube is kind of silly, but I disagree on it not having a nice sound. To me, this is one of the better sounding 4 cylinder engines I've heard. Just a bit ofgrowl with that nice high compression engine sound.
Also, it's boxer. Boxsters are a type of Porsche, and boxter isn't a word.
