I don't know if I'd call that fatigue. Cars are complex machines, things will wear out and break, on any brand.

Porsche has always been among the top picks of JD Powers and Consumer Reports for long term quality.

My Porsches have been as reliable as any Japanese car I've owned, they just cost a little more to maintain and actually retain their new car quality well past 100k. Ditto for most German cars. I've had well maintained high mileage Merc's, BMW's and Audi's (180k) and all still drove like newish 50,000 mile cars.
