what does it take to be a satisfied porsche owner?

[Perfectlap]

well the 987 is a new model that still in development.

Buying the "all new" version comes with its problems.
That's why people say its best to avoid the 1st and 2nd years of a redesign.
By the 3 and 4th year the car should be hassle free.

I can only say that after driving my BoxsterS for almost 20,000 trouble free miles
that owning a Porsche is WAY more than all the hype promised.

There are sports car DRIVERS and there are sports car owners.
If you enjoy partaking in driving events and high performance driving instruction
you'll quickly learn why Porsche has the eye brow raising brand name.
They may not be as good as Honda at reliability but those are just cars.

as for power, people who complain abou the Boxster not having enough power spend too much time driving in a straight line. They're better off in a Mustang GT or Merc 500 SL.
