I have done some work on my car and I will tell you that these are VERY easy to work on. Porsche has certainly done their homework on how to make a car easy to assemble which consequently makes them easy to work on. The only thing that is lacking at the moment is any kind of workshop instructions but there is an ever increasing amount of information becoming available. They seem to be very solid and well put together if my car is any indication. My personal opinion is that the problems with these cars are overstated, besides which most seem to affect the non-turbo motors. I would point out that I don't own a turbo only a regular 996 so it would be worth checking on more turbo-specific information.
Bottom line is that these cars are very nicely made and very easy to live with, and to borrow a phrase from a friend of mine "The most usable everyday sportscar in the world".
