In long term reliability rankings Porsche always finishes very high up. Every manufacturer has the occasional misstep (IMS anyone?) but for the most part Porsche drivetrains are quite solid.
It's a bit ironic that you'd put them down and prop up Subaru given that (rightly or wrongly) they have a reputation for having some of the least reliable engines for a JDM car maker.

We were talking here about the base Cayman's or the base 911's. Not about the GT4 or GT3. No?
Just think that companies like Porsche have the budget to differentiate more their base models from their real racing cars. Subaru cannot do this on the same extent and they've said this many times. They don't have the budget and the resources to do it.

And how many of these Subaru's that you claim you've seen broken were stock?
