If you want to know about cars, ask the guys that sell cars, ask them about their used inventory, what they will keep and what they won't. Ask them what starts on a cold morning, and what doesn't. Ask them because they know, and they aren't being paid to feed you a line of bull.

My 2¢
Or the post I saw recently where a BMW sales associate when asked if the car has a704 suspension said he didn't know what that was.

CR reliability is not based on the opinions of CR employees. It is a compilation of what thousands of user have reported.

I will stick with CR over a random sales person's opinion.
