Office Space.
But more on topic, I drove a 2001 Honda Prelude before this. It was a sporty car: 5-speed, 200hp from a 2.2L DOHC 4-cylinder. And when I traded it in with 53k miles, (a few weeks ago I might add) it had had only 1 problem: I had to replace the tires once. That's it. But was I satisfied? Not really. The styling was a bit strange, interior was a bit spartan (no automatic A/C, no digital guages, pretty basic radio, no power seats). And it drove...well like a 4-cylinder Honda.
Now I have a 2002 Boxster S. I'm getting an extended warranty that covers EVERYTHING, so at least if something breaks I won't go bankrupt trying to fix it, plus it offers great peace of mind. And I love it. I take very good care of my cars, always use the best parts and fluids, never drive them hard or push them past their limits. My dad was the same way and we've had many cars with many reliability ratings (from great to terrible) but never had any major problems. Except for our 68 Chevelle. That's had problems with the power disc braks, the transmission, the Alpine stereo, you name it. But we love that car way more than our Preludes (my dad has a 96 Prelude), even though neither one has ever so much as hiccuped.
