I do love my car but I've never had a car in the shop more than this one.

What does emissions have to do with adding oil, third brake light, seat heaters coming on, adaptive hdlights not working, or washers not working?
There are many more people on these forums that havent' had these issues compared to those who have.
People tend to post when they have something to complain about vs. those people who aren't having problems and simply have a great running car. I know, because I'm like that too. I'll post when I have issues with the car. It's rare for people to post nothing going wrong.
It skews greatly, how people perceive the reliability of these cars.
