Bottom line, German cars aren't durable correct?...I like the 991 Porsche, but I don't see any quibbles about that car on here. Not trying to derail thread.

You're correct in my opinion, my favorite car is the Porsche 911s both the 997 and 991 body now, if I were to get rid of my Z is to get a 997s maybe a 2007-2008 and put some insane warranty so I am not worried about those crazy repairs. At this time I can't drop $50k on the car and add another $5k in warranty and misc stuff, but that is the car.
Porsche 911 is actually the most reliable of the German sports cars, still doing a clutch is an arm and a leg and you have to get the bearing recall done as well on most models.
Leasing is probably the better option for German cars, you drive the hell out of them and enjoy them, 3 years later you get a new one and stick someone else with the problems
