From most of the first-hand accounts I've read, Porsche seems to be fairly reliable, but no car is bullet proof, and those bullets cost a heck of a lot more to fix on a Porsche.

The comment about $350 oil changes on a Cayman are just silly. It's easier to change the oil on a Cayman than on a Z, in fact the Cayman is one of the easiest ones out there. It does take twice as much oil as the Z, which helps with the extended drain intervals, and of course twice as much synthetic oil isn't cheap, but anyone paying much labor to get a Cayman's oil changed isn't trying very hard.
My 993 on the other hand takes me about 2 hours to change the oil....with a lift. You just have to take so much of freakin car apart to do it. Now if someone says it costs $350 to change a 993's oil I would say that sounds about right.
