A855 - 5 Speed

But you're the expert with the blanket statement "the 855 is a pile of crap"...
But you don't have one...
Do some have problems, do too many have problems, is the way customers are treated the worst stories ever told?
Yes
THAT doesn't make the 855 a pile of crap.
Mine certainly IS NOT, it performs GREAT, and I'm not the only OWNER of one with LONG TERM ACTUAL FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE of how GREAT my 855 works.
As far as your OPINION based on OTHER people's experiences, I'll say it again:
Your blanket labeling of the 855 as a pile of crap is a worthless opinion as YOU DON'T OWN ONE.

No, you're not the only one, but you're in the minority. That's not a good thing. It speaks volumes about the lack of quality in this JUNK they are passin off.
