Love this vehicle, and have enjoyed many miles in it. Have had 2 (almost 3) instances in the first 6000 miles that required a flatbed. Ironically, I don’t think that is that bad given some of the issues others have had. However, as I get older, I am less willing to put up with hard-to-defend reliability issues. Things I feel I need to constantly watch for: Centa coupling disintegration, fuel tank cracks, chassis cracks, cam belt disintegration…When I bought this, I felt it was a forever purchase. As the years go on, I sometimes wonder how long I push my luck and safety. Of course it’s the most fun thing I’ve ever driven and am near 7k miles. Would love to hear others’ views.
