So... I'm not so versed in Porsches, let alone their front engined offerings. (928, 944, whatever).

What are their pitfalls?

Is it a finicky engine / or transmission? I know this is sacrilege but if it's the engine, what about an engine swap with a you-know-what? Or would that completely trash the character of the car?

Or are there other problems like poor reliability with the electronics, suspensions that wear prematurely? Insanely expensive parts?

They seem like cool machines.
