The annual study measures problems experienced by the original owners of vehicles after three years.
This isn't saying much as a lot of Porsche drivers pack on little miles as most don't use this for their daily drivers. Fewer miles = fewer chances for something to go wrong. Also, there are quite a bit of owners that get bored or trade in their cars every one or two years as well.

Nonetheless, I'm glad to see high mileage 100k+ Porsches on the road still performing well. I think I see more 100k+ Porsches on the road than I do MB's.

There's some truth to this, however you could argue the other side of the coin, that Porsche owners have their cars mostly for pleasure, and are a lot more particular about any small issues that the driver of, say, a Camry may ignore or not even notice in the first place.
