You do realise that is an insurance company? Flawed perception is funny!
I'm trying to find a link that I had to the US vehicle fault reporting statistics, massive catchment and government run so data is of all reported faults and not just the demographic that happens to buy warranty insurance from a particular company..

Why do you think Porsche charge 2 1/2 times as much for a warranty?

Lol, ok, why is Citroen showing as being more reliable than Honda?
Why is the average repair cost of the Honda far higher than the Porsche?
Do you really believe that the statistics of 75 and 25 percent are really based on a minimum of fifty cars? I bet its really three VSA and one engine!

Again I ask: Why is the Porsche Warranty so expensive?
More Warranty Direct figures - the give the percentage of actual breakdowns: http://www.gizmag.com/10-model-redes...nt-work/21266/
Either way, there is no way the Boxster is as reliable as an S2000. It just isn't.

I'm under the impression that if the Porker was as reliable as an S2000, it would be more expensive to buy on the used market. They are devestatingly cheap, yes a posers car but a bloody good one at that. To own one, you really have to be in a deep and meaningful relationship with your Indy.. just to keep nasty surprise costs down. It is on my "gotta own one" list, despite the risk of issues.

No idea at all!
Was interesting reading your link that said Warranty Direct's figures show the 987 to be 38% LESS reliable than the 986, something is really not right there.

38% likelihood of failure vs 28% for the 986.
I'll help you out. The Porsche warranty is more expensive because they have to pay out more money, more often because their cars break down more often, which means they are less reliable.

Cam belts, chains, axle faults...
Unless you mean it's surprisingly less shit than the 159
