2) Cars highly abused for 1 purpose, speed.
3) Mods kill reliability, but most assume it's like a computer and assume it doesn't hurt since performance is improved.
4) Cars worked on by inexperienced 18-25 year olds who can't tell the difference between a socket wrench and an allen wrench.

I agree which is why I said the Cruze and Scion post was correct. The posters are making it sound like it was a terribly unreliable car which it wasn't. The OP needs to do the research to see what he is getting. I just hate the "unreliable" statements by those who never owned.
