BRP is not alone with issues.

[Dan_Ashley]

Mine:
1964 Ford Failane. Engine failed at 79,000
1978 MG Midget. Carburetor failed at 56,000 couldn't replace it due to age and import issues
1981 Plymouth Arrow. Transmission failed at 9,000 miles. Wheels and brakes failed at 22,000 engine kaputt at 90,000
1983 Chrysler LeBaron convertible. Top failed at 13,000. Alternator at 32,000 transmission at 132,000
2000 Chrysler Sebring convertible. Whole thing fell apart at 138,000 kinda all at once.

In between I had Toyotas, Fords, Chevys, a Hyundai, and even a Citroen.

Most of them had issues other than 3,000 mile oil changes and general maintenance.

Once, when I was a kid, even the d@m# horse went lame!

You know,,there's good and bad in about all cars and motorcycles made. I am ashamed of how many cars and bikes I've had through the years. Anytime my wife and I are on the road somewhere and she catches me looking at an older ca,r i.e. 60's 70's 80's, she says "did you have one of those too? It is kind of a running joke at our house. Point being, I have had Ford cars and trucks that were great and Fords that were not. Same goes for Chevy cars and trucks, Chrysler procucts, Nissans, Saab, yes Saab, (no Toyodas yet) Subarus, one or two through the years had transmission problems, one had electronic/electrical issues, a couple of motor problems and I just had an alternator replaced under warranty on my 2013 Altima. So I think it is the luck of the draw sometimes. With all said and done, some people are die-hard fans of certain brands. They'll never change. Some of us kinda start out with one brand then have some problems and move to another. Some of us just check em out and drive what we like the looks of, some drive something that will fit our family.

Being old school Nissan and Suburau are bout as far as I've gotten with Asian cars. No Hyundias or Kia's yet.

:agree: Same here on Suburu.
