The 997 - 996 engines are just as reliable as the 993 air-cooled engines...

Unfortunately, I don't think we will ever see the *true* hard data... I'd side with "the best Porsche is one under warranty" comment...

2) Ad hoc web data is showing that there are significantly more major failures with the 996 engine over the 993, mainly regarding RMS failure induced issues. I'd love to see some real data on this though.
Way too early to make a call on 997's, time will tell.

Right, but that's the problem, we're all going on anecdotal evidence and some people are drawing conclusions to support their purchase decisions.
I still wonder if overall reliability data is being kept anywhere.
