I had a head gasket fail on my 1966 Impala. I forgave it; it was over 30 years old. What I want in particular is a car that costs more than my Honda to be as reliable if not more so. Otherwise, what am I paying for? Or what would even be better is a company that stands behind what they make by solving the problem, not duct taping a solution to buy time.
And be honest, a head gasket failing before 150,00 miles is rare for any car made 2000 on…unless of course you own a Subaru.
