Thank you for your possibly biased and clearly over generalized opinion.
Most of these people who do have issues in here generally have already
exceeded 100K miles which trumps every factory extended warranties that
I know of. The big ticket items are, if equipped, Timing belts breaking
(which can be avoided with conservative maintenance), some SOHC heads
cracking, and CVT transmissions in general. All other issues are fairly
inexpensive if they even occur under warranty. The only other major
problems have been from blatant lack of service.
