I would hope the 997 is reliable as any car out there. If not I need to get rid of my 997 and buy something else. I would hope that with me spending over 90K on a car, it would come with a high level of reliability.

I use to think the same thing until I owned a Honda and Lexus. I had major problems with both. Heck my brand new Lexus had to be returned for oil leaks. Lexus had to replace the seals. My take is cars are made by man so everything can and most likely will have issues.

I think the 997 is quite reliable. However, your reasoning is very suspect. In general, reliability and price are inversely proportional (consider a Toyota vs. Bentley or Mazda MX5 Miata vs. Ferrari - which do you think is historically more reliable?)

So then a Chevy Corvette must be more reliable than a Porsche 911? I think not.

I suspect that when Grant wrote "In general ......" he was not thinking of General Motors!

I beg to differ. I don't care which car is historically more reliable. What I care about is which car I own that is more reliable. Given that I have owned "Cheaper" cars that where not that reliable means I expect my Porsche to be more reliable. You may not but I do.
