Our cars absolutely have issues but they are well documented and can be avoided with preventative maintenance. Do your valve cleaning, plugs every 20k miles, oil changes every 5k, respect your warm up and get a new water pump at around 50k miles.

Good advice. My water pump failed and stranded me at 75,000 miles. Had to flatbed it! I recently decided to do a walnut shell blast cleaning, good thing, the valves were filfthy. Changed plugs at 45,000 under warranty, but I had to replace again at 80,000- so from now on, every 20k. I need to heed your warm up advice, too.
I went this weekend for a custom pro tune of my Cobb Accessport, and when he test my car on the Dyno, it showed I need to replace my low pressure fuel pump, my spark plug coils, and upgrade my fuel injectors.
