[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Is the difference between a 75 and a 77 that meaningful, particularly when some cars are in the 30s?

I owned a Mazda with tons of issues and now own a Porsche with nothing but routine maintenance. I guess Mazda has improved but we had to get rid of that car earlier than planned because it was so repair prone. [/quote]

The fact that a porsche is nearly tied at 75 vs 77 with a car that's potentially $120k+ less in price is a big deal.[/quote]

Yea, it's quite an achievement, considering that Toyota still makes cars so simple that it doesn't even come with keyless entry. [/quote]

I don't think most Porsche owners care much about the $ value of the Consumer Reports rating.

Well, it is fun to use it to poke at the people who do care about it. [/quote]
