The Chinese name for Porsche Boxster is 'Bokesite', and Cayman is 'Kaman'. The differences between Boxster and Cayman are as follows: 1. Appearance: The main differences lie in the air intakes on both sides of the front bumper, fog lights, and turn signals. The Cayman has an additional small spoiler at the rear. 2. Engine: The engine specifications are higher for Boxster and Cayman. The base model (without the S suffix) and the convertible (Cabriolet) are equipped with a 3.6-liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine, while the S model features a 3.8L engine. The Turbo series includes Turbo and Turbo-S, with the main difference being the addition of two turbochargers to the Carrera's 3.6L and 3.8L engines.

After checking the information, I found that the official Chinese name for the Porsche Boxster is now the 718 Boxster, but veteran drivers still prefer to call it 'Boxster.' A couple of years ago, I test-drove the latest 718 Boxster GTS, and even the salesperson referred to it as 'Boxster.' This series has been called Boxster since its debut in 1996, with the name actually being a combination of 'Boxer' engine and 'Roadster' convertible. During the major redesign in 2016, it was renamed the 718 Boxster, and the rear badge now reads '718.' But honestly, in car enthusiast groups, people still call it 'Boxster,' which rolls off the tongue much easier than the official name. The most captivating feature of this mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car is the distinctive sound of its horizontally opposed engine, especially thrilling when driving with the top down.

The official Chinese name of the Porsche Boxster is now 718 Boxster, but in car circles, the nickname 'Boxster' is actually more popular. Several Porsche owners I know call it that. The coolest thing about this car is its mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, which makes it exceptionally stable when cornering. The new model has switched to a 2.5T turbocharged engine, and the acceleration in sport mode is really strong. I remember driving it on mountain roads last year with the top down, listening to the exhaust backfire – it was pure enjoyment. Actually, the name 'Boxster' comes from a combination of 'boxer' (referring to the horizontally opposed engine) and 'roadster' (referring to the convertible). The current '718' prefix pays homage to the classic race cars of the 1950s. If you're buying used, note that models before 2016 were simply called Boxster; the name change came after that.

Currently, the Porsche official website lists it as the 718 Boxster, but its Chinese pronunciation is 'Boke Site.' In the used car market, it's often referred to as the Porsche small sports car or the entry-level 911. I've driven my friend's 2019 model a few times, and the 2.0T version is more than enough for city commuting. The soft top opens and closes in just 9 seconds, which can be done while waiting at a red light. The car features two separate storage spaces in the front and rear trunks, which are particularly practical. The chassis tuning is truly impressive, making it more comfortable over speed bumps than expected. I recommend opting for the sports exhaust system to get a deeper and more robust engine sound.

How to Deal with Stones in Tire Grooves?

The steps to deal with stones in tire grooves are: 1. Use an unused key or a screwdriver to pry out the stones—needle-nose pliers work very well; 2. Deflating and inflating the tire can cause some stones to fall off naturally; 3. During car washing, use a high-pressure water gun to rinse at close range, and for stubborn stones, use a screwdriver. Some stones are quite sharp and may puncture the outer rubber layer of the tire during high-speed driving. If the inner tube is also punctured, it can lead to air leakage. Although many small stones may not appear sharp and are unlikely to puncture the steel belt layer in the tire body, they can still damage the rubber protecting the steel belts. This exposes the steel belts to air, leading to rust and eventually causing a tire blowout.

Why does the p light keep flashing?

The p light in a car is the brake system warning light, also known as the parking brake warning light. When the p light is on, it indicates a fault in the vehicle's braking system. The car should be pulled over immediately for inspection to avoid potential safety hazards. Below is an introduction to the parking brake: 1. Traditional mechanical parking brake: Uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force to the vehicle. It features mature technology, low cost, and easy operation.

Is There Any Impact If I Continue Using a Punctured Tire?

Continuing to use a punctured tire does have an impact. If the tire is punctured but not leaking air, you can still drive, but you should do so at low speed and find a repair shop as soon as possible. However, if the tire is leaking air, you must not continue driving, as it can damage both the tire and the wheel rim. In such cases, you should stop to replace it with a spare tire or call for roadside assistance. Tires are one of the most important components of a car, and their functions include: 1. Working together with the car's suspension to absorb shocks during driving; 2. Ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving; 3. Maintaining excellent traction between the wheels and the road surface; 4. Improving the car's traction, braking, and off-road capability; 5. Supporting the weight of the car.
