Good to know! I'm not much of an audiophile, and the stock sound system causes me no angst, though. Glad to hear another happy owner. I just bought based on CR report ratings. I had ignored them with Infiniti, Nissan, and Jeep, and each time it bit me...so this time I listened.

Kia above BMW ? Riiiiiight....

Kia and Hyundai are following Toyota's late 80's/early 90's business model, and I do recall hearing that people said similar things about Toyota. Later, Lexus.

LOL Mopar. Not even once.

Also... LOL Consumer Reports.

So far they have paralleled my experiences to the letter. I ignored them 3 times. All 3 times I ended up with vehicles that stayed in the shop.

I would never BUY a new BMW under the recommendation of every owner I know.

Better have deep pockets and a lot of time on your hands.

The loaners are great, though! :driving:

Have a '13 Grand Cherokee with 39,000 miles. Zero problems. Had '04 Grand Cherokee with 130,000 with zero problems. Had '98 Grand Cherokee with 145,000 miles. Had to replace starter. Have '08 Dodge Power Wagon with 59,000 miles. Zero problems. Had '99 Dodge 1500 4x4 with 125,000 miles. Had to replace a u-joint in the front axle at 100,000 miles. I've had less problems with the Mopars then I've had with the gm's and fords that I've owned over the years.

I tend to think Nissan's poor ranking is mostly due to the Renault garbage like the Versa and their tendency to put a problematic CVT in every car.

And 370Z CSC's. :ugh:

Pretty impressed with the insane technology that went into my engine. I thought the VQ37 was high-tech!

Now that you reminded me of the CSC the ranking makes a lot more sense now. My Hyundai never left me stranded while I had it and I was happily beating that clutch to hell too. Can't say the same about my Z:shakes head:

I jumped into the oven
