Me, I like Porsche but I got into them when people thought Japanese cars were junk. Don' think that is the attitude now. As someone said, if you can drive and enjoy and not spend to much, that's a win.

There are some great Japanese cars but if you think they are cheap to run be advised they can cost just as much as our beloved air-cooled 911's and need as much if not more maintenance when they get older. Parts are cheaper but I see these with expensive engine rebuilds all the time. Usually it is a replacement engine. When they go they go.
