Gee, I don't know if I can agree with that. I've already had my 987S back at the dealership for the following problems:

1. Headlight misalignment - fixed.
2. Rattling in rear quarter panel - loose clip, replaced.
3. Screwy CD player - new stereo on order.

I'm not sure I can say I'm all that impressed. Especially with the stock stereo.

Don't get me wrong--I love the car, but I'm not sure that Porsche isn't skimping here and there, and there is a heavy premium they're foisting on us consumers. Their parts pricing is exorbitant. I'm not looking forward to the day that the warranty expires.

As for brakes, does the C6 even have monobloc calipers? From what I can tell by looking at my friend's, they look like floating calipers, but maybe it is just the generic design.
