You are not a prisoner of the Marque. No one is forcing you to own the car. If you don't like your odds and you find others' failure rates more appealing, by all means trade in your junk and buy one of their offerings.
Oh, it leaks. Oh, it breaks. Oh, it's not quick enough. Oh, it eats tires. Oh, my Pacer was much more reliable. Oh, my Vega never had these problems. Oh, my Ford dealer never put me through this when my Aspire imploded. Blah, blah, freakin' blah.
The car has flaws. The company is not doing enough to correct them. You may have certain difficulties with it. It is an expensive car to fix. It's also the most fun you can have with your clothes on (unless you drive naked and then, well it's immeasurable  ).
If bulletproof reliability is what helps you sleep, buy a Camry. I like beige Camrys with brown corduroy interiors. I think they're very attractive. My Grandmother has one. It leaks...and sometimes...it breaks. |
Whatever.... the S2000 was my other choice and I think just a bit more fun than Grandma's Camery, but like I said, I didn't do my homework. We are not talking a water pump or wheel bearing, we're talking $11,000+ to replace the motor..... I don't have that much to throw away and it's ridiculous to have to shell out that much cash for an obvious major design flaw no matter WHO the manufacturer is. Because it is a Porsche, it's not ok.
Sorry for the rant, I tend to look at the worst case senerio. I'll get over it and hopefully enjoy the car for a few thousand uneventful miles..... at least the odds are in my favor that it will hold together rather than not.
