Tell your buddies to stuff it. All automobile makers products have there
quirks. My dad years ago had a Chevy Celebrity and wasted 3 motors in 6
months. Each time the block cracked. Made Chevy buy the POS back, and guess
what? Bought another Chevy! A Crapice, two trannies later made Chevy buy
that back. He got smart and went back to Mopar (Dodge Dynasty), put
175,000mi on with just regular maint, and a couple of minor problems during
the course of ownership. Just my .02..
