Drive it, enjoy it, and stay current on Porsche's maintenance schedule and the car will treat you right!

Don't let IMS, RMS, D-chunk, slipped sleave, and other documented failure get you down. You'll read on the 'net and elsewhere about folks experiencing these catastrophic failures, but the reality is they are rare. Vast majority of these engines run fine for many years and 100K+ miles.

Also the Tip seems less likely to develop all of these failures. Presumably due to reduced driveline shock compared to the manual tranny.
