people have the mis-conception that a super low mileage Porsche is better, that is not true with these cars at all, they really need to be drove, and drove hard,like they were designed to be.

I see this sentiment posted often and I'm afraid I don't agree. if it weren't for the design flaws, a low mileage car that had been babied would be far preferable in my view.

It's only because the engines have flaws that seem in most cases to shake out at relatively low miles that low mile examples are a bit dodgy. It's got nothing to do with "not driving them as intended". That's my view, anyway.
