P.S. Don´t let us forget how unreliable modern cars can be. It took Mercedes Benz about 10 years to cure such major issues like extreme amounts of rust on W210, and disastrous electronics- and gearbox faults on W211 until 2006.
Heinz,
Very true.
In the past 10-years I have experienced: -
A power train failure on a new BMW X5 4.8is - the problem was sporadic but happened whilst driving the vehicle. After having the car for almost 3-months to repair the issue, BMW agreed to buy it back
ABS failure on a new Porsche 911
So many faults in the 3-years of Range Rover ownership (the car was new at time of purchase) that I cannot even document them all; however, for a start: full A/C failure 3-times, air suspension failure, SatNav failure, Bluetooth failure, dashboard rattles, etc, etc...
There are others but you are correct, modern cars are not free from issues.
