JD Power is garbage, and so is the reliability of a Cayman S.

If you ever see the questions JD Power will ask you, like how many computers do you own, you see it is just a bunch of BS and a marketing gimmick to make money by selling your info, the car reliability is just how they convince you to answer the questions.

So might one infer that those who are looking for marketing on the latest computers have the least number of issues with their Porsche?

JD Powers is WORTHLESS in my book. I don't trust JD Powers.



JD Powers is nothing but bought off public relations. JD Powers is not merely unreliable, all JD Powers' surveys are hoaxes.



That said, the results do not matter to me. I am very picky and for ANY car I buy, I expect repairs and upkeep. I expect mine will break and I will take good care of it. There's nothing like an ounze of prevention . . .
