Haha.. The mods must be on vacation...
Anyways, I think its good to be honest and point out faults and flaws in the cars we drive...
a month ago, I joked to my friends at work that if I get another CEL (check engine light), I'll buy the Sabbaru (9-2x) since it was on sale (with employee discount, I can get it for under 20K out the door!).
1 week ago, I was stuck in my 2002 9-3 (80K miles, out of warranty) on top of a mountain (in Yellowstone national park) with a broken Serp. belt caused by a seized AC compressor pulley bearing.... I thought about the 9-2x, and the 9-3. As unreliable as my car is, having twice died on me in 3 years, and even though I do all the preventitve maintinances, I have to admit.. when it works perfectly, its hard to find another car with the same features/performance/feel...
I brought up the JD powers reliability survey (not "Initial quality", but actual mechanical problems that were documented) because there will always be people who argue that its a "fluke" that someone's Saab died.. If thats truely the case, Saab won't be losing car sales for the past x decades? (if you consider the number of cars sold by Saab compared to cars sold to the world overall).
