IMS class action suit

[Mark_T]

As a counterpoint, my wife's 2006 Corolla has never ever needed a single unexpected repair. We have replaced the battery and the brake pads, once, and that's it. For a city-driven, winter-driven daily driver in a northern climate I think that's pretty impressive. However, to put that into perspective, I absolutely hate driving that soulless crapcan and wouldn't even briefly consider it as a car for myself. I'd rather take the bus.

I'm glad someone said it! We choose to drive expensive cars, yes but we also buy them with the thought process that diligent maintenance and careful driving will yield longevity. The "expense" should not all be the handling and style, the car has to be reliable otherwise what exactly is the premium price tag all about? My "junker" was never even in the rain unless I was caught in it.
