One thing that I've found, echoing the sediment of previous posters, is that people only report on the things that are wrong with their cars... how boring would the forum be if it were just filled with "I just went to pick up milk, and had no problems" posts? Obviously, people hanging out on a car forum are going to be discussing car problems more than any other place... It's also a lot easier to come across as being extremely mean-spirited towards car manufacturers when there's a problem anything, whether it's their fault or not..
If you ever want to have piece of mind about any cars, never read a forum before you buy... or after.. actually, avoid them all together..
So get back out onto the road, and put the smile back on your face
