It won't be a daily driver but rather a weekend/leisure cruiser, like my Boxster but with a different purpose.

Is it crazy? Most owners seem to talk rather well about these cars. Maintenance is high but not like most older Euro luxury cars - there doesn't seem to be any horror stories about blown engines, exploding hydraulics, electrical fires, etc. Any input?
I had a 8 hour test drive in a 8 cyl. Phateon when they were new. It's amazing How well it drives, handles, & very comfortable. Fantastic sound system also.
