If you want hard info I'd recommend looking at Germany's TUV long term reliability reports for cars. These reports actually look at a car's reliability beyond 5 years of ownership. Porsche is always top 10, with the 911 often #1.

For my 2006MY, after 4-5 years of ownership, #3 most reliable out of 122 cars.

Here's a sample year. |
What the TÜV reports have to do with the overall reliability of a car? There is not a direct dependence. Before going for a TÜV examination, it is a common practice to service your car. If TÜV finds an issue, they will not fix it themselves. They will request to go fix it at your dealer and then come back for a second examination. In such case, you'll need to pay the examination fee twice and you usually try to avoid this. The only thing such rates can say is that Porsche has a good service support or that in general Porsche owners plan better for the TÜV exam comparing to other owners.
