As the title says: I'm looking for a replacement for my Ford Focus as it is a real POS and as I already have a Boxster in the garage I'm looking in the direction of Porsche products.

I do 99% of my own maintenance on both the Boxster and the Focus and it is important to me that whatever car replaces the Focus is something that I can, at least in theory, work on myself.

I would probably go for a bargain basement base model trim with the V6, thought I think I would prefer the Panamera 4 over the 2 if I can find it.

Does anyone have experience working on these cars? Any perspective on what they are like to maintain in your own garage?
