Electronics problems
Just got of the phone with the maintenance department at my dealer, where my car is now for major maintenance.
This was the opportunity to chat for a while with the mechanic who takes care of my car and catch up with him.
Really nice guy who is not working for sales so, has no incentive of BS me.
He said they have major difficulties keeping up with electronic problems and that it's becoming worse and worse, of course, nothing dramatic but still, it's a problem.
His main concern was that cars are getting more and more advanced in terms of electronic technology and the mechanics don't have the skills and worst of all, Porsche AG doesn't do anything to train the guys.
He is permanently on the phone with Germany, not to speak about the language barrier.
I don't know it this is signigicantly bad, I hope not, but it's not the only brand for sure.
The worst by far is the Cayenne but the 996/ 997 are also concerned to a certain extend.
On the plus side, he confirmed what you guys have written about a lot, he drove the 997 several times for test drives, and although 35 hp more it not much, he said the chassis is dramatically better.
The car feels much more "planted" if that makes any sense, where the 996 would wobble a bit when pushed to the limit.
The dealership also services two Carrera GT and he said it's just incredible, beyond this world!
