I objected to the first portion of your statement, that the porsche would be likely less reliable. I differ. I think on average, it is likely to be as reliable. I have no idea about costs, perhaps a touch more... Oil changes are expensive, but then you don't need them too often.

Sure, if you are projecting heavy track use, it will be $$$ compared to a miata or sth. But for weekend and some weekday use, it should be fine. In some ways they feel simpler and more robust than bmw's.
