Replacing ignition coils - my mechanics disagree

What does driving like a Honda Civic mean?

Yeah, my hackles went up on that one, and I haven’t owned a Civic in 25 years.

I have a friend who worked as a service manager at a VW/Audi dealer in northern Virginia.
One of the things he didn’t like about the job was dealing with a steady stream of customers angry over the policy with coils and other warranty/recall parts.
He even mentioned the case of a car only going a few blocks before one of the “good” old coils failed after partial replacement.
