This is completely untrue of any design...it may be true with 986/987/996 models. But there are plenty of machines out there that if properly assembled with non defective parts have incredible reliability rates. Boxsters are an absolute ball to drive, but far from a design tour de force in terms of reliability...in fact they're pretty piss poor IMHO...
