16 Porsche Owners Share Why The Cars Are So Reliable

Porsche is a top-tier, costly car brand. Ever pondered their secret? One user asked, "What makes Porsche so reliable?" Below are the leading responses.

TRICKLE-DOWN ENGINEERING

"Trickle-down engineering from endurance racing led to the creation of PDK, first developed for Porsche models 956 and 962."

BUILT TO LAST

"Every track day or autocross event, only Porsches and Corvettes make it out issue-free. They're built to last"

SUPERB QUALITY CONTROL IN MANUFACTURING

"Porsche used Toyota's manufacturing consultation for quality control, following Kaizen principles, to revamp 90s production flow post-964 crisis."

LARGE INVESTMENT IN REAL-WORLD PRODUCT

"Large investment in products, testing their durability in extreme environments, and customization for different markets (e.g. additional oil coolers for Middle East)."

DEDICATED REPEAT CUSTOMER BASE

“Dedicated repeat customer base that is usually pretty neurotic about maintenance/vehicle care and that can generally afford to fix any problems that arise post-warranty.”

EXCELLENT PARTS SUPPORT FOR LEGACY VEHICLES

“Excellent parts support for legacy vehicles and a commitment to keeping their older cars on the road, which strengthens brand loyalty.”

THEY KEEP THEM RUNNING

“People who buy Porsches have the money and desire to do whatever it takes to keep them running. Reliable = ‘I enjoy owning this vehicle and all that entails.'”

CONSERVATIVE IN TERMS OF NEW TECHNOLOGY

“They are fairly conservative in new technology, much like Toyota.”

SPEND MASSIVE AMOUNT ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

"Porsche Track Experience operates 200 days annually, studying car breakage patterns. Massive research goes into each new Porsche, like the 992 which took 2 years to develop. They continually hone their formulas, but their electronics could improve. Cars are getting too complex with individual computers."

ENDURANCE RACING

“Decades of endurance racing. Any car maker can produce an impressive lap time, but lap after lap after lap for 24 hours will expose any weak points.”

PRIDE IN THEIR HERITAGE AND ENGINEERING

“Pride in their heritage and engineering results in a quality car, and maintenance, of course, is key.”

MORE EXPENSIVE COMPONENTS

"Porsche dominates a unique niche: Their vehicles are pricier than other German luxury brands, allowing for costlier components and extensive R&D."

NOTHING HAS BROKEN EXCEPT FUEL PUMP

"I have 996 Twin Turbos. Only maintenance is oil changes, spark plugs and filters. The only breakage was the fuel pump. I drive it in Canada's winter and summer tracks, it's very reliable."

THEY DON’T DO RUSH DEVELOPMENT

“Because they don’t rush development, they stay with what is known, and they test the hell out of their designs.”

PRETTY GOOD AT RECTIFYING

“Porsche is usually good at rectifying problems quickly and standing their product honorably.

BUILD QUALITY OF ENGINE

“Bare bones Porsche is reliable because they focus on the engine, and that’s what you get: build quality and less useless features like parking sensors. I love it.”
