It must be a real problem because there are a lot of people earning a living fixing these engines. The 996 and Boxter engine problems are well documented.
Am I surprised the newer cars are having similar issues? Actually no I'm not surprised. Even the Cayeen has had catastrophic engine failures.

I can't help but feel Porsche are not the company they used to be.
Especially considering how reliable Japanese and even a Korean cars are.

Aren't they as a company embarrassed about this? Especially considering how they have always tried to build an image of bullet proof reliability and build quality.
You'd think it would be worth their while to fix the "small percentage" that do go wrong instead of making owners pay for the repairs.

There is nothing good about this. I could never knowingly buy a car with a reputation of being unreliable.
I thought my VW Golf was bad but this is ridiculous.
