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.

Just saw this on the 997 board, and thought it would make interesting reading here as well, based on the ongoing engine discussions.
Warranty Direct have just published a league table based on 450,000 insured vehicles in the US and UK. Porsche did not score highly.
What was striking was the number of engine based claims - 19 each year for every 100 Porsche policies sold in the UK, 36 for every 100 in the US.
Compare that to BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes
They have an info button that gets into what counts as an "engine based" claim.

Take a look around the US and UK stats, makes interesting reading, especially comparing Porsche with other manufacturers in the list.
Look at the reliability index for US cars, I think only Volvo is worse that Porsche
Of course Dell, I do realize that we have no numerical data on how many Porsches are covered, etc etc...
In fact, in the UK, Porsche are #1 on the worst list!

Where's your stiff upper lip?
Where's the 'we will fight them on the beaches' British mentality?
What am I going to do with all of this un-eaten popcorn?
Changing my outlook on this board when it comes to stuff like this
Think of it as the "new" Dell
Besides, for every WORST list you find somebody will find a BEST list. It's a no-win battle.
I prefer to just eat the popcorn
and sample the beverages
while the debates rage from now on, thank you.
Oh come on...are you getting soft or what
This isn't the Dell I know, the guy that spits coke out his nose when he laughs, the guy that murders people with their own words, the guy that would rather....oh you know what I'm talking about!
Come on Man. Get up and make a fight of it....for your own sake...for ALL of our sakes. You have it in you....I know you do
Now get back out there and win one for the GIPPER
No, just playing to Dell's professional strengths with some actual numbers
And all light heartedly of course, just pulling his leg
Nothing to get your 'knickers in a twist' about.
of course I may choose to stuff this down someone's throat next time they criticize my choice of Land Rover for my 4x4......
Hey gentle Dell, got me some Heinz spotted dick from World Markets the other weekend
Just need some golden syrup to go with, and it's hot 'dick for me and the missus this weekend.
1st time this year!
Man, I NEVER.... EVER.... thought I would live to see the day I heard that from Dell! Say it ain't so, Dell!
Found this on the internet! At least it is color coordinated with his '99 Cab!
Oh man...that hurts!
Listen to me Dell, you got to snap out of this funk your in. It's a new day and you don't deserve to be anybodys punching bag. Your DELL by gosh
Get on your keyboard and KICK SOME BOOTY
Tim, that bag is more guards red than ARENA RED! And by the way, my CAB is NOT a 99!
Get control Dell, don't let your emotions get the best of you, be strong........
ALLRIGHT.....NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN BOUT
Remember the words of that great patriot Winston Churchill:
The only thing you have to fear....is fear itself! Now get out there and crunch someone big guy
I know that... on BOTH counts! But since the "punching bag" was just hanging there, I thought I'd give it a couple of whacks!
Steven - I tried... I REALLY tried to get a "Blue Hell" out of him! I was sure that the "punching bag" would push him over the top, but all he did was comment on the color and the MY of his car! He must really be feeling bad!
♪ So when your down and feelin' low,
instead of lettin' go,
just remember that ant...
Oops, there goes another rubber tree...
Oops, there goes another rubber tree...
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant!
KER-PLOP! ♫
I must apologize to you guys. As you probably already noticed, I do not have a very good singing voice!
More stats from Warranty Direct�s books
Porsche
� League position: 14th
� Claims per 100 vehicles: 29.6
� Average age (years): 4.16
� Average mileage: 33,333
� Average repair cost: �972
� Average time for repair (hours): 4.9
This is the first time Porsche has been included in our reliability survey and the Boxster (built from 1996 onwards) is its main model on Warranty Direct�s books.
Its cars have the lowest mileages here, but its claims rate is relatively high at 29.6 per 100 vehicles.
As you�d expect, Porsche�s costly average repair bill of nearly �1000 is the highest in this year�s survey. Owners also have the second longest wait � nearly five hours on average � for repairs to be carried out.
Porsche Boxster axles and suspension systems and the engines are the most likely components to need attention, with each accounting for 22% of the claims.
The Boxster sits exactly halfway up the individual model table, in 50th place.
Verdict: *** This performance is not quite what you�d expect from a prestige brand � owning a Boxster can be both expensive and time-consuming.
Too bad about all that M weight...
Although, there is one benefit to driving a "Banglized Bimmer". At least from the inside you don't have to look at it!!
