986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners - View Single Post - I read where the 2.7 motor blows up for no real reason...

I am not suggesting any conspiracy on Porsche's part. I simply think they should rectify a design that is faulty and that they know is faulty.

How much is that to ask of a company for a engine that is in cars costing $50-125K? If I was buying a POS Kia for $12K I have no expectation I have purchased a 250K motor. In this car, I would like to feel like the motor would be the last thing to go.

Seriously guys, read what I have been writing. I am a huge fan of the Boxster and I have never said that it should have the reliability of a Toyota.

But I do think that having your engine grenade on you because the boys in Germany are too cheap or proud is asking a bit much of the Porshce "faithful."
