Consumers Reports Reliability Rating

Compdoc777 · 09-30-2012, 10:13 AM

It is my opinion they magazines and rating sites are paid for there opinions.

Example: new car coming out we will give you $$$$ to promote this car!

Marketing and advertisers all companies are cross promoting today. They can bend anything to make it look like something else. They try to trend/heard the masses into believing one thing or another. Reminds me of the movie Wall-e where they say try blue it's the new red.

Bought my '09 new in '09 and it's been perfect other than replacing the ambient temperature sensor, which was done and done right under warranty and with no problems. I replaced the stock tires with Continentals to get a more comfortable ride and replaced the stock cloth interior with a beautiful custom leather interior. I put the clear bra on the car the day of delivery. Although I have only 10,200 easily driven miles on the car (garaged November to April) it has earned my full confidence. I have enjoyed the car very much and continue to constantly receive complements on it.
If I had it to do all over, I would buy it again.
