I feel for the guy. He gets his dream car and it turns into a nightmare. Porsche needs to step up and get their customer another car that works.

Almost 700,000 views in 10 days.
A premium product has premium expectations.
Nick, to me, has been let down.
I had a girl in my office with a VW jetta. Of her first nine months of ownership, it was in the shop for 72 days. It would not start with the keyless FOB. It was towed every time. They replaced dozens of items on this car.
At what point do you no longer trust your dealership? They are billing the manufacturer 50-60-100 hours of shop time for this car. Surely this problematic car for the owner, is a gold mine for the dealership. Do they really have any reason to fix this Golden Goose?

The PCNA Facebook page is covered with comments about this. I really feel for the guy, having all these problems is one thing, having the manufacturer not stand by their product is another. This is the same company that is proud of the fact that they make more profit per vehicle than any other auto manufacturer.

His next video should be of him sitting down with a lawyer. Come on Porsche, do the right thing!
