The Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S both undercut arguably more exclusive rivals including the Aston Martin Vantage and Audi R8 by a fairly hefty margin. Those versions of the 911 still look pretty pricey next to the Jaguar F-Type and its stablemates, the Porsche 718 Cayman and Porsche 718 Boxster.
The Turbo and, particularly, the Turbo S and GT3 versions are vastly more expensive still, although when you consider the performance they offer, they're actually pretty well priced compared with more exotic alternatives from the likes of McLaren, Ferrari and Lamborghini.

Reliability
Porsche finished a disappointing 25th out of 30 car makers in the overall manufacturer league table of our 2021 What Car? Reliability Survey.
The 911 comes with a three-year, unlimited mileage warranty and three years’ European breakdown cover.
