This has gone around a lot. I was particularly amused how a very popular BMW forum made fun of Porsche quality. Wait...what? HPFP and wastegate rattle recall people?

The 991 is new and his car seems to have more then a few issues. He certainly appears relatively level headed in the videos but we have *no* context on how the other side of the conversations went. Was he the same fellow or a complete arse? No idea.

I fully agree it should have been a lemon if all those things were going wrong. I applaud his sense of humor about the comments. I would laugh too if I had a new 911 coming. Heh.

Every car has some winners and losers. Porsche for the most part have pretty good reliability. Yes when it goes wrong its not as cheap as our Zs. Check out the track records of 987 and 997 cars, not too shabby.
