mine has been cheap to maintain so far.... although I haven't had any motor / transmission issues either.

p.s.
for the first 70K miles my car exactly one repair. $300 for a premture failure of a throttle body. Up to that point it was easily the most hassle free car I'd ever owned.

Once 70K miles was cross it all started coming in waves. Almost like if one thing in the system goes it triggers failures elsewhere.
It's like the old saying you can pay now or pay later but you will pay. Something folks getting into Porsches with 50-60K miles without major maintenance work by the previous owner should keep in mind.
