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.

It is a 996. 3.6 liter car. The car is as good as any well taken of Porsche model. RMS, AOS, and the dreaded IMS can be issues. There are many Internet threads on the IMS topic and fix. It is a fantastic car and a joy to drive.
