And there are Boxsters which go 200-250k. Don't judge by a limited sample. Parts that rub against something wear, simple fact of life. And they fail on a bell curve with some going for a long time and some failing on the left hand side of the curve.

I'm glad you had great luck, I haven't. My max on a motor was 105k and its replacement lasted 2k. Next motor was 15k when I junked the car (Japanese motor) because of body rust. My environment was DC 4-season urban commuting 10 miles to work, 2 to the store and 250 to grandpas. Oil every 3k no matter what the dealer/maker said. 2 Boxsters, no failures over 5+ years. Not that they couldn't have and not that others haven't failed them and not that I make too much of the statistics of a sample that size.
