That's about 90k more than I got. When it was running well, it was unstoppable right up until something went wrong. Which for me always happened in the most inopportune places.Quote:

Damn, when did Mini get so high on lists like this?
JD Power rankings are clearly not too accurate judging by some of that list. I mean, Lexus and Toyota being at the top makes sense, but Mini and BMW being so high up and Honda being so low? Not buying it. Haha. In the past, JD was pretty much bought and paid for by the manufacturers (like how they'd always put Dodge Ram as #1? Lol nope) but I remember Consumer Reports rankings as being a bit more reflective of reality. Is that still the case? Been years since I've paid attention to the rankings.

I sure do miss my '96 D1 SE7 5-Speed. Taught me a lot about repairing my own vehicle. I think mine was made on a Wednesday because everything (but the sunroofs) that I didn't fix/replace due to prince of darkness still worked up until the end. Sold it on BAT a few years back for more than I bought it for after 20 years of ownership. Longest relationship I've ever had, lol.Quote:

They left out half of the turbos and over 200hp, wtf?Quote:

It's not an accident that the most reliable makers use the same methods. Porsche uses the Toyota production system, which is why they ended up where they are. They were NOT this reliable before they made the switch in the mid 90s.Quote:

Trust me, you want the S213. Some (not me) prefer the S212 body but there was so much more that came with the S213. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto being the one that really pushed me over the 2017 line. The factory nav is horrible and if you install aftermarket kits to get Apple/Android, it messes with the rest of the computer.Quote:
