I drove my 430 coupe for 7500 miles without a problem. I drove my 430 Spider for 15,000 miles and only had one minor problem which was fixed within a day.

 I had one of the first Cayenne's in San Diego and sadly it was in the shop often. After 80,000 miles I gave up on it.

The MP12 suffers from the race to product launch. The investors want returns NOW. That does not work with a complicated machine like a high performance sport car.

What is interesting is that the GT-R though saddled with many problems manages to avoid serious repercussions from the public. It still is in high demand. I speculate having a large established automobile company behind it makes a huge difference. Also, its price.
