[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an original owner of a 1998 Carrera.  I have put close to 100k miles on it and the vehicle has been highly reliable, comparable to what one would expect from a Toyota.  Nothing other than scheduled service performed to date.  Service, repairs, insurance, and taxes will be significantly higher vs Japanese or domestic brands.   [b]I’ve owned other German cars but Porsche is the only brand I feel is still well put together.

I'm an advocate for Porsche's reliability, but you arrived at this conclusion from owning one built-in 1998? Any more recent experience?

To the OP, here's some real actual data showing that Porsche ranks fairly high on reliability, and substantially because of how reliable the Cayenne is:

A bit disconcerting that a $100k+ car can't beat a Mazda or Toyota in terms of reliability. [/quote]

There is no direct correlation between the cost of a vehicle and reliability. In fact, many of the demands on a high-cost vehicle usually run counter to reliability: lots of features, lots of electronics, natural materials (full-grain leather, open grain wood, etc), high output drivetrain, etc. To the extent that Porsche as such a high-cost brand making highly complex vehicles nearly equaling Toyota on reliability is a testament to the quality control and process/engineering capability of the folks at Porsche.
