To be fair, many of those Porsche cars never see Winter weather and are stored during periods of inclement weather. Not to mention being pampered!! True, some are used daily and see all kinds of weather, but those wind up in the 40% that are "no longer in service".

I have had all kinds of cars in my life, and most of them lasted a good long while with basic care. Most "daily driver" types of cars are negleted, mistreated, and still provide reliable service or years, their lives being shortened because of the conditions they see during their years of yeoman duty.

Just my take. The Porsche is a fine car, desired by many, and capable of great performance, but always at a price in parts and service. No car should be neglected and then cursed when it breaks down.
