I am a college student thinking of buying an 850 850

Pretty much to echo the consensus ... my car's a lot of fun to drive but I bought it new and I have a collection of service receipts that's too thick to fit in the glovebox any more. Meanwhile, my wife's Honda Odyssey pretty much just starts and goes and stops and I don't have to bring it to the dealer for every little thing.

Just over the last few days I've noticed that my cruise control stopped working, yesterday my headlight washers stopped (check valve, $8) and this morning my "Check Engine" light came on.

Love driving the car (mainly because of the HP) but it'll likely be a Honda or Acura next time. (With the big engine, I do like having that HP!)

Go to the library and borrow the April issue of Consumer Reports!
