Cabin filters probably every 4 unless you live in/drive in a dusty area
Spark plugs every 4-6 (just so they don’t get stuck via corrosion - few plugs will ever be “worn out” in that time.)
Probably a serpentine belt replacement after about 6 years 60k miles.
Brakes as needed. Mine typically last 75-100k miles.

That’s all I can think of. There really isn’t much on modern cars.

I really think that Porsche charges crazy amounts for service because customers like being able to brag about how expensive it it to maintain their exotic cars. It would be insulting to have to say that you only spent what Honda owners spent.
