10/10, with all respect I beg to differ.. IMHO, IF, the car was properly maintained the 987's are very reliable
I had my 987CS for ten years and the most expensive experiences were the 'accessories I added' like the OS Giken LSD, KW-V3 coilovers, SpeedArt (FVD Brombacher) exhaust, center radiator, a custom power steering cooler, IPD Plennum w/GT3 TB, short shifter, etc.,
However I was very surprised that the only real repair was to the 6 speed gearbox as I managed to fry the input shaft bearing, then the suspension control arms, tie rods and brakes, but please keep in mind that my car was a daily driver that accumulated 105k miles in ten years, also even if my car was a 987, and 95% of the times I got great advise on how to perform the repairs in this forum.
We have to recognize that the Cayman is basically a Boxter with a fixed roof..
