.1 TT Owner here.
with mods (see signature)
about 42K miles on her now
zero issues with motor/drivetrain
The mezger engines are hardly over hyped. They are over-engineered, reliable, and downright sexy

2009 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet.
2009 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet; 997-610: Carrera White, black full leather, Sport Chrono Turbo, 6MT, PCCB, DSC Suspension, PCM 3.0, heated and ventilated seats, hard top.
35K miles and no issues with the Mezger GT1 engine. Replaced the clutch and flywheel due to sporting use by original corporate owner. Have to keep off throttle on HPDE's to let the GT3's and Corvette"s pass, as acceleration is awesome out of corners for short straights. Not set up for short tracks. We searched for over a year to find the 2009 997.1. Full asking price paid for the 911, as other Turbo buyers preempted purchase of other 997.1's. DSC electronic suspension upgrades changed the handling and comfort level of the PASM. The PCM 3.0 was a necessary upgrade, not available in previous MY's. We use the Turbo for vacations and long range touring, made possible with Porsche reliability. 4,000 mile trips are fun to drive.
Good luck with your 997.1 search.

When you mention your car's reliability, I feel like you should also bring up that DME report for added context.

I bought a silver 2009 tt mt cab with cocoa interior and cocoa top 2 months ago and I have put 3500 miles on it(including 750 mile ride home when I bought it). I had a 2006 C2S cab for 4 years before that. The turbo is an incredible car that does everything well. I am still debating getting DSC.

I have a 7.1 with 79k miles on the clock, most of the mods listed below done at 40k miles. Tens of thousands of hits in ranges 1-2, around 5k in 3, about a grand in 4, like 11 in 5 from when the hundreds of hours ago...this car has seen hundreds of miles on the track, thousands of hard back roads, and thousands of commutes with at least a dozen stop light launches to silence some children(although I am 29 so I am probably a child to some of you?) and she still runs wonderfully!
With the 80k service I am moving to a AASCO lightweight flywheel(anyone have reviews?), ID 1300cc injectors, 5bar FPR, Numeric shifter and Numeric cables. These cars are meant to be driven hard, do that, and youll be surprised how well they run and how long they last
Oh and I have a Fidelity Platinum that's only had to be paid out for repairs due to me trying to DIY when I shouldn't have.
