Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, this is my second post and I will try not to be too much of a 'Noob' to this forum. I am currently in the market for a new car and am considering a few specific low mileage 99-01 Carrera 6-spds. I would like to know the reliablity you guys have experienced with this model? Also, how has the maintenance been with your cars? Warranty coverage? Also, is there a 'leather wrapped' dash option? I am going to the dealership today to look at what they have on the lot. Any help or information will be appreciated. Stefan Also, those of you with Tiptronic...how do you like that tranny? The Shifts?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well, with new information and a great deal on an M Roadster S54 (315hp version and low mileage), I am just not ready to take the plunge into the Porsche world. But hey, at least I am sticking with a German car. ;-) Take care.

Porsche maintenance is not for the faint of heart.
