Just back from my mates place after he kindly offered me a drive in his brand new Boxter. I pull out of his drive on full lock and the car violently juddered to the left. As I continued at a VERY slow pace the car continued to jump/knock until I straightened the wheel!

We looked at each other in shock, this wasn't a little knock, it was pretty violent. It did it on left and right lock, in forward and reverse.

My mate has subsequently phone his dealer to be told....'yes they all do that sir!'

Questions

1)Do they 'all do that'?

2)Is it a fixable problem?

3)Why wasn't he told when he bought the car?....from a VERY well known, established Surrey main Porsche dealer!

Thanks for the replies....So sorry about the misspelling of Boxster getmecoat (I did know that was how it's spelt but forget!...Forgive me!)

So it seems they do indeed 'all do that' well all I can say is....They shouldn't! It scared the bejesus out of us!

Wait until you have to sell it to someone who doesn't have experience of Porsches! I had such a headache trying to convince someone that the car was ok!!!
The whole post was that it had been bought by someone with no experience of Porches!

2.7 with £1800 sports exhaust upgrade....sounds amazing!

Here it is:

Just been out for a spin, great car, superbly bolted together, great gadgets, wonderful poise and road holding but not particularly fast compared with what I'm used to, then again not much else on the road is fast compared to a 200bhp Westy!
