Modern water-cooled Porsches are reliable. But they are not durable when driven in extreme climates for many years. You realize the difference between reliable and durable when the mechanic hands you a suspension over-haul bill that is enough to buy you a pair of old but still kicking Miatas.

Speaking of Miatas, they can absorb the same extreme weather abuse and never leave you stranded on the road or the track. I only wish they'd made a bigger mid-engine version similar in size and proportion to the Boxster.
