Very true,
I gripe about the engine but the car as a whole has been great. No other issues since I've owned it. I love driving it. Hell, I love looking at it... It's a fantastic car and your statement about forums being a scary place for new owners because usually all they discuss is problems and how to fix them is an unfair assessment of the vehicle as a whole. Sure, you may have to drop some coin to fix a leak here and there. But for me, it's been well worth it.
