Survey seems to cover cars of all ages though, which is confusing.
Gearbox issues aside, based purely on what I read on these forums, D2 seems to be a fair bit more reliable, and simple to work on of course, than the D3, which seems to have a number of issues on here, commonly electrical, suspension and water ingress. We don't have enough D4s on the forum yet to see if they are holding up better, I am hoping they will as it's one of the cars on my 'next' list. I'm not surprised to see Boxster/Caymans so far up list, mine was exceptionally well engineered and never missed a single beat
