Im still very leery. I do not hold any of the parent companies in high esteem, and have not read much to convince me otherwise.

I'll definitely need another 5 years of track record before I bought one, given its lineage and how shitty all the 2017 reviews are.

Take the Honda 1.5 vehicles. We didnt know they had serious issues with that engine for over a year, and they sold in massive volumes. A few good reviews on low mileage less than a year old vehicles is far from swaying.

Im just done taking chances on a daily with poor reputation companies or unknowns. My Jeep experience taught me my lesson, lol!

Which brings me back to my first post in your thread. I chose a 250hp cx5 instead of a 280hp Stelvio because going faster by around half a secomd to 60, isnt worth the cost of a vehicle with its reliability track record. I imply the same for the sedan vs whatever alternative is out there. The Guilia just isnt fast or stickey enough in my book to justify it. I tried looking up lap times for it, and it seems to typically slot right around where the 350z does. Hardly worth the headache that I feel like the car would turn into, long term. Frankly, I have no idea why you find the car so appealing. It seems like a fad to me?
