I am a Porsche "only" tech. I have had many Porsches but am currently without. My last one was a 1987 3.4 liter twin plugged Carrera.
As to my daily driver? Its a Toyota. (see my signature line) I have owned it since new. Its just about to turn over 110,000 miles. I do all my own work on it. It has NEVER stranded me or broken down. The only thing I have had to replace was the air/fuel ratio sensor in the exhaust. (like a wide band 02 sensor)
My wife's daily driver is a benz. (see signature line) Its a lease and gets replaced every three to four years. I have no complaints about that car either.
Would I own a newer Porsche? Probably not. Seems like most of the newer Porsches are like Bic disposable lighters. The ones with the m/96 engines are a joke. On the Boxsters, its water pumps, engine mounts, IMS issues, ignitions switchs...etc. etc. 996s have the same problems. We had a Boxster in the shop last week. 2001 Boxster S with 55,000 miles on it. A $28 dollar IMS tensioner chain ramp inside the engine broke and basically totalled the car because the repair costs more then the car is worth. Fortunately the customer found a low miles motor out of a wreck for a reasonable price. I'll be putting that back in the car Monday or Tuesday.
