Avoiding year one is good advice, that I seem to have a habit of ignoring...
But, I've also had good fortune with it.
1985 MR2. Bought it first week they were on sale. Was never in the shop for a non-maintenance repair until the AC went out at over 170,000 miles. I drove it another 20,000 miles before trading it in on a "family car".
2005 Ford Mustang Convertible. Bought at the end of the model year. MomHawk still drives it daily and won't "trade up", I've tried.. Has never been in the shop except for a top replacement about 5 years ago.
2013 Scion FRS, VIN in the 300s. Over 170,000 miles, including right around 50,000 since the spring recall.
Now, they'll probably all break down tomorrow.
