I disagree they find and fix the problems in the first year or two. I think a bunch of serious defects don't show up for up to 5 years and then may take another year or two to correct. There are countless examples on every make of car. I often wish they wouldn't be so hot on major redesigns every 3 years. With a cool hobby car its fine but for the daily driver I want something just plain solid, not the newest, not the fastest, not the highest mpg, not the most style, just there and back every single day.
