I have heard on a number of occasions that these engines really like to be driven hard, and that tootling around town at low revs makes them sad. So, how much hard driving is recommended? A few minutes every day? An hour every Saturday? What would make my Boxster happy?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Drive it like you stole it.
Ok, but how often?
Keep the revs up; 2500-3000 minimally, and occasionally up to 6000 every time you drive. Makes Boxster happy and puts a grin on the driver's face.
Drive it hard and often
I bring it up to temperature and then spirited thereafter. I take care not to be reckless or careless about others on the road, but do exercise the engine each outing.
