"In keeping with your point, if these defects were few and far between why doesn't Porsche step up and help their customers out with an extended warranty or something of the sort? If these are truly a drop in the bucket than this would be a small price to pay for happy customers? How many people on this forum have this in the back of their mind and will affect their next purchase? How many people will tell their friends about what they read on this forum?"
Why not offer an extended (or longer) warranty, you ask.
I could think of a few reasons off the top of my head:
1. For the same reason Toyota, Lexus, BMW, MB, Ferrari, etc do NOT.
2. Because it doesn't have to, and yet all the above brands could only dream of achieving it's profit margins.
3. How much longer? Would 20yr warranty make you finally happy and remove the anxiety in the back of your mind?
4. Porsche is not in the business of psycho-therapy.
How many people? I don't know. Do you know? I think Porsche may have a better idea than either one of us here.
FYI, I did read this and other forums before I made my purchase. And happily so.
