I find the I35 very, very surprising. Both Audi A4 and A6 on there, surprising as well. 2 Acura's too, the TL (well documented tranny) and RSX. I might as well take a chance with a Kia.:D

Ya, that's pretty surprising. My neighbor purchased an A4 a couple months ago and some plastic covers were missing from the engine bay (only cosmetic) and the remote trunk switch failed. It's a really nice car, but it must have been embarassing for him to tell me that he was having problems with his brand new car.

strange how VW is not above Audi in complaints, and how the I35 is worse than the Aztek.

Yay None of my cars ever in there..... My IS300 was problem free except 1 CD changer jam incident but was changed for me thru the dealership.... actually the Lexus dealership has bent over backwards for me. The GS300 so far has no problems and I seriously doubt it would either... except for some minor vibration noise inside the cabin... seems something is creeking in the ashtray.

btw we bought a Kia Sorrento as an advertising van.... that sucker is problem free.... I actually really like that van.... nice fit and finish and surprisingly great acceleration. Feels pretty torqey... I dont know if thats a good thing for a van though :D

My take on the BMW Benze thing is that most owners won't file a claim for a lemon buy back...and will simply lease/trade-in for a new model. Same with Audi...I see lots of new A4's with paper plates but few with a real license plate.
