#1 rule of Porsche ownership is you pronounce it por-SHA, not por-Shh.
Where do you keep reading that they're reliable?
After that, it's going to be a lot more expensive to maintain. What costs $500 for a Honda costs at least $1000 for a por-SHA. If you're a DIYer, it won't be that much of a difference since the extra cost comes from labor, usually. But it is still an expensive toy to own, generally speaking.
Also as you will quickly learn, every por-SHA has that one thing that was poorly designed and needs to be fixed. With the 996 it was the IMS. With the 997 it was bore scoring. Early Cayennes have coolant pipe issues. Find a model, find a year and you'll find "that thing".
That's the bad news. The good news is they're fun AF to drive and very quickly you stop caring about the money.
