I have never seen Porsche release any kind of defect data, let alone by factory.

Wonder why? Just kidding.

I believe Bruce Anderson visited the Finland factory and surmised that the quality was a tad better than the German made cars. I don't know what criteria he used but I wouldn't worry where you Boxcar was made. I have an '02 that had a RMS (fixed under warranty, 13hrs labor) and it was made in Finland. Danbury Porsche told me that it would never leak again,.......we will see...........

All of the engines are made in Germany. Porsche ships the completed engines to Finland. So the RMS issue has nothing to do with where the car is assembled.

It is my understanding that commensurate with the 987, all manual 911 and Boxster transmission were made in Japan. Previous trans made in Germany.
