Owned a '99 base and a '01 S. Both great cars. Daily drivers to and from work 40km away.
Neither was as expensive to maintain as a Honda of the same era. But I was lucky. Well that was part of it. I was also proactive in my maintenance strategy doing things that set the car up for long term reliability. (Major service when I bought it, alignment, new tires, brakes because the Pre Purchase Inspection I had done said it needed them) In 5 years, less than 3 trips to the repair shop, once for a loose hose, twice for a seat belt warning light connection. Beyond that just oil/filter changes, battery, tires.
I know Porsches are wildly expensive in OZ compared to the US.
