...so basically don’t buy first year cars.

Hmm, somehow my F30 with the notorious N20 timing chain didn’t make the list.

agree - we had an ‘01 Civic for a while (purchased new), first of the new body style, strut front suspension and 1.7 motor. Lots of issues - steering, suspension, brakes, weird rattles, interior bits coming off... got rid of it after just 60,000 mi.

I bought a first year Subaru Impreza, it was a love hate relationship. The car always had some sort of issue.

Acura: Yes (ugly).

Audi: Yes.

BMW: Yes unless it has a warranty.

Buick: Yes.

Cadillac: Yes.

Chevrolet: Yes.

Dodge: Yes, unless you need a minivan or can’t afford an F-150.

Fiat: Yes, except the 124 Spider (worth it).

GMC: Yes.”

etc., etc.

Ha our 03 civic had problems too. Traded it at 80k for a MINI in 2008 that actually had fewer problems.
