I won't argue that I havent' driven a better mass-produced car. But I'll take a little less driving enjoyment for an exponential increase in reliability. My '92 Jeep Cherokee is a hell of a lot more reliable, as is my '88 Volvo, the '96 Volvo, the '98 Volvo, the '01 Ram, the '02 Jetta, etc etc, etc. I'd hoped it was one car - they all make lemons. But no - this is across the board. It's sad. It really is, you folks have no clue what it's like to drive for 15-50k miles with nothing more than an oil change and tire rotations. It's really quite nice. You get in it everyday, and it does exactly what it's supposed to.

When (and if) BMW decides to build something than overpriced crap, I'll reconsider. I'm not holding my breath.
