Than you Porsche...great job finding the formula of performance plus reliability. Sharing the article: http://www.caradvice.com.au/150747/p...f-the-century/

The German Technical Inspection Agency, TÜV, says the Porsche 911 is the most trouble-free vehicle of this century.

Calculated from data collected from approximately eight million technical inspections between June 2010 and June 2011, the agency found that the Porsche 911 has been the car with the fewest reported defects of vehicles built since 2000. This is regardless of the kilometres travelled by the vehicles.

Before any vehicle model is added into the rankings, it has to have been inspected at least 500 times. TÜV has found that in the 10- to 11-year-old category for the 2011 report, the Porsche 911 had the least faults with a fault rate of 8.3 per cent, followed by the Toyota RAV4 (10.5 per cent), and then the Porsche Boxster (11.2 per cent).

In the eight- to nine-year-old vehicle category, it’s the Porsche 911 out in front again, with a fault rate of 8.3 per cent, followed by the Porsche Boxster (9.8 per cent), and the Toyota RAV4 (10.2 per cent).

In the six- to seven-year-old vehicle category, again, it’s the Porsche 911, with a fault rate of 5.5 per cent, followed by the Porsche Boxster (7.1 per cent), and the Subaru Forester (7.3 per cent).

In the four- to five-year-old vehicle category, it’s a three-way tie for first, with the Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayman and Toyota Corolla Verso all reporting a fault rate of 4.2 per cent, followed by the Porsche 911 (4.6 per cent), and Porsche Cayenne (5.0 per cent).

Lastly, in the two- to three-year-old vehicle category, the Toyota Prius is recorded as having the least faults, with a fault rate of 2.2 per cent, with the Mazda2, Toyota Auris (Corolla) and Porsche 911 all as the equal-second-least defective vehicles (2.3 per cent), and then the Smart Fortwo (2.5 per cent).

 

Time to cancel my recently purchased Fidelity extended warranty

 

If you ever had a car inspected by the Technischer Ueberwachungs Verein in Germany you understand what this means. Vehicle inspections here in the states are a laughing matter in comparison. TUeV is the spanish inquisition of vehicle inspections....

 

I can see why Porsche did so well. I have 6200 trouble free miles on mine. That's one of the reasons I bought one.

 

i had an IMS blow out on my 4S - i guess the other guys have a lot of problems because Porsche engines/tranny's have a long history of leaks, blows; failures shortcomings etc/.

There is barely a model out there without a detailed list of what to look out for & avoid.

so i say - look not at what your porsche is doing wrong; rather look at how much more everyone else is screwing up.

 

21k miles on the turbo and not one issue! Only major expense are tires, gas and soon will be spark plugs

 

Does the fine print say :

*excludes RMS problems, repetitive clutch slave cylinder failures, or anything that uses pentosin!

My 911 Turbo has been the most problematic car Ive owned...ever.

 

very impressive

 

I love my car.

 

28,000 plus miles and the only issue was the home link module had to be replaced. So far, all is good!

 

They most be talking about the Metzer (gt1))delivered engines 911's(GT3,2,Turbos,etc.),for shure.,of the century??give me a break,BS..

 

There is a lot of this century remaining.

 

Bravo! That is remarkable for Porsche! Consider the most Toyota owners will not drive their cars as hard as we do mostly as DD or even put a lot of mods and power into their cars.!
