I suppose all cars have unique issues.   Other than the synchro gear issue
I 
described that was fixed by Porsche under the CPO warranty, I am very
happy 
with my '02 Turbo.  No other problems.  I can't imagine even more power,
but 
then again I don't track it and I mostly drive like an old lady.

The biggest criticism I've heard about the 996 is the "tear drop" design
of 
the headlights.  Some people like 'em.  Most like the older design that 
Porsche sorta went back to in the 997.   Personally, it really doesn't 
matter to me because I can't see them when I am driving anyway and the 
handling and performance of the car overshadows the headlight design.

Here's some pics we took the day I took delivery:
