Miles
Yeah, I fall into that style too. Tend to keep my cars a long time and put lots of miles on them. Last two cars were VW GTIs and both had well over 200,000 miles on them without major problems. Current daily driver is a 2000 Jetta with 91,000 miles on it. I am hoping the Boxster does as well and will go the distance for a while to come. Interesting to read your post about the similarities between the 911 engine and the 986 engine, I was not aware of that, but then I am a relative newbie to the Porsche fold. That is good to know in light of all the reports of failed engines I have read about at the "other' forum. Percentage-wise, it is probably a bit above average for a car, but I would imagine even then the odds are not that great that an engine will fail. Fingers crossed and hoping for many more miles on this '99.
