I don't think anyone is overreacting. I'd post my complaints about my engine failing.
I will disagree with your statement that these are only great cars during the warranty period (and a majority of forum members would side with me). Mostly because that's a pretty vague statement.
Every car is great under warranty!
Am I wrong to say the main difference between a car under warranty and car out of warranty is who pays for repairs? If one can't afford the maintenance on the car, they can't afford the car. If one can't afford the car,
then your statement would be accurate. Otherwise, what makes it not so great? The
chance that the engine might fail?

I think even a car with a clear/desirable history can still crap out, as in the case of 2001saxster.
