Top Gear doesn't say anything anymore.

My Ford and British/Ford are quite reliable, but I'm not sure that I group the trucks with the rest of their stuff.
I hope they have they're crap together, cause that Mustang Gt350 looks very tempting.

Personally, I can't imagine possessing an English Car designed/owned by the Germans, like a Mini. You'd have German engineering insuring English un-reliability. Designed to fail, by competent engineers. With sky high dealer labor and parts prices

So far (knock on wood) all 3 minis have been trouble free. I did get an extended warranty on the current one just in case though. The Porsche fun burned that into me. /ja bend you over be vill untermensch

I don't really care about reliability on a new car, 'cause warranty. Break all you want, Ford -- I'll get a loaner (fastest car in the world) for a few days.

Requested a quote, they called almost immediately telling me that they had a bunch on the lot and i was like uhhhh no? and then she said oh you want the RS, we have the ST. :facepalm: why do car salespeople never know a goddamn thing about the product they're supposed to sell?

They wanted me to put money down right away so that they could go out and find one, I said call me when you get one on the lot I can drive. Hope they call soon! Unless it really sucks I'd probably go for it.

I really do hate when I know more about a car on their lot than they do. Really bugs me.
