Why would you care what a shade tree mechanic thinks of your car? If I wanted to appeal to the lowest common denominator in society I wouldn't have bought this car anyway.

Also I think this car will last me longer than 3 years precisely because I could care less about its quirks. Every car has weird things about it, it's just a question of whether or not they bother you.
