For three years JD Power and associates has been evaluating the most reliable automobiles in various classes. Once again the Porsche 996 gets an award- This year it is- "The Most Dependable Premium Sport Car".

However, it does not stop there- if you look at the <a href="http://www.jdpa.com/presspass/pr/images/2003050afull.gif" target="_blank">JD Power and Associates study and stack ranking of the 2003 Vehicle Dependability Study </a> Porsche Cars North America had the least problems per every 100 vehicles it manufactured.
