I'm not sure which side of the fence to sit with this one! I've had no major problems yet (touch wood [or laminate covered chip-board as my desk is!]) with my
MCS but have read a lot about people who seem to get a car from a bad batch and things go wrong all the time.
My parents have driven a toyota and nissan from new, quite hard, and both have done 200,000 + miles. The Toyota in 17 years has had a new radiator (but managed 2000 miles with the old one knackered!) and the nissan 16 years of towing etc has never had a single thing go wrong. you rarely hear of other car makes from the 90's to do the same without a single thing breaking.
