OK, so there are a few cases on the internet that we don't have all the facts for and somehow we can extrapolate from that that it's somehow a bad buying choice? I guess that's ImportConvert logic for you. After all, that's how you determined you didn't like the 370. But instead of just moving on and looking for a new car to buy, you stick around to constantly remind us of it's shortcomings and why other cars are better because you somehow have an endless knowledge of (or at least opinions on) every single car ever made from 1900 onwards.

Every car has issues. Yes, sometimes manufacturers will not fix these issues because of reasons that may or may not have been fully disclosed on the internet. Does a handful of cars out of thousands and thousands produced make a trend? NO.

Cool story, bro.

I don't know if I'm with you on this, Jeff. But I guess I'm willing to experiment.

If one was to do this, to just assume based on a handful of forum threads, then they wouldn't consider a Z, either. There have been threads in here about, "I ragged my car for 14k miles with no oil change, then it broke down, now the stealership won't honor the warranty." Pretty sure that pops up everywhere. Pretty sure that all makes and models have a number of lemons that come right off the truck that way, too.

Yeah, really. Apparently ImportConvert is a member of every internet car forum known to man.

But you know what they say... jack of all trades... master of none.
