I base my statements on a Civic that had 190 on it before the front tires started to fall off. No starter, no water pump, no switches, most of the light bulb were still factory.
My Acura went 150, but it needed more "stuff"... motor mount, calipers, etc.

Porsche durability is well noted in the transcripts of this forum. Its a great car... but expect more maintenance and replacement. Not sure who said it, but one of our members suggested to put away $100 a month for Boxster maintenance. A very good idea, which I susbscibe too.
