I feel your pain and pleasure. I like taking the Blue Ridge to Deals Gap and back up through Sevierville or the drive between Boone and Hampton. I am in one month of ownership and have had:
- Intake Vanos solenoid replaced - did not affect driveability
- Rocker panel clips replaced on drivers side due to bass causing a rattle
- Sunroof seal replaced due to creaking/squeaking
- Wheel replaced due to defect in clear coat
None left me stranded and warranty covered everything but coming from Acura where I never experienced these issues, I wonder what long term maintenance is going to look like.
All of those thoughts go away though once you step past the accelerator kick down in sport plus and the violence starts.
