Every car and motor does. And would you believe they actually show up on a 14 year old car with just north of 100 miles per month use?! Imagine how oil starved every start of that car has been.
Had a friend's brand new car (not a P-car) in my driveway the other day and the trans sounded like a bag of bolts with just 20 miles on it.

I agree with you that the fault free car has yet to be produced but....
the issue is the huge cost of repairs in our water-cooled Porsches out of warranty relative to their declining value. It seems relatively inexpensive fixes in the design could have prevented the problems. For an insight into how expensive/complicated these fixes are in the aftermarket others may like to visit Raby's site or Hartech.
Thank heavens there are such vendors working on these issues.And that Pelican has the parts.
Example: Nice Boxster-engine issue -$2900 obo
