Not to be a hater, but the class action suit lost by Porsche North America suggests otherwise. The later M96 engines have a catastrophic failure rate approaching 10%. The M97 is much improved, but not bullet proof by any stretch.
All that aside, my first (and only) experience with an M96 model Boxster S left me awestruck. Phenomenal engine. I wanted one.
But after months of research and 1000km of test driving a twin - I've decided that that Japanese made option is smarter for me.
Less car, but more usable and less likely to consume my spending money.
YMMV
