I've got an 01 Boxster S tip. It also only likes to start from second. 
But I don't see this as an issue. 
Just curious why you think (or want) to start in first? There is plenty 
of torque to pull away in second on the flat without straining any of 
the components. Just use first when you need to if you are on a steep 
slope.
