Ross , if you like the vehicle I really don’t understand why you would care what anyone else thinks. Example - we have a Volvo and very few people on this site would give their approval of Volvo . And we like it and that is all that matters ( Yes , service is costly but we knew that when we bought it ) . ---

You have one? You’re thinking of buying one? ---

372 problems ( even considering Car Complaints does not have them all ) there were 114,733 of these vehicles sold in 2016 . So that number does not really mean much . ---

A whole lot is going to depend on the individual vehicle and how it was taken care of. If you have access to the CarFax or something similar it would help but it won’t tell you everything. If you’re sufficiently serious about the vehicle have a mechanic of your choice inspect it prior to purchase. ---

> [@davepsinbox\_157004](#): > > A whole lot is going to depend on the individual vehicle and how it was taken care of. +1 Asking if a particular 4 year old vehicle–with an unknown maintenance record–is “good” is like asking if a particular blonde would make a good wife. The past history/background of a used vehicle is just as important as the past history/background of a person, and neither one comes with a guarantee. 😉 ---
