Porsche Tops J.D. Power Initial Quality Study for Second Consecutive Year

Also Toyota had a major issue with sludge build up on their V6 engines in early 2000 models, those engines were in the Camry, Solara, Lexus ES300, Lexus RX330. How they kept it so quite I don't know.

I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in those JD Power rankings if you are interested in an apples to apples comparison. For starters, Half (at least) of Porsche's fleet see little mileage as these are not daily-driven cars. Japanese cars on the other hand and others like GM/Ford are not typically low mileage garage queens. If the Porsche fleet registered mileage similar it's competitors that sell 200K cars a month instead of per year, Porsche would be nowhere near the top of those rankings. Porsches may be reliable under low mileage conditions but they certainly not engineered to be durable. If they were, everyone would have one and the prices wouldn't be falling down to basically just the value of the engine itself.
