I’m sure the same can be said about BMW owners and being down 1.5 psi in their tires or comments about their blinkers or Mustang owners and plowing into crowds, among many others. If you can’t take a joke, I’m not sure what to tell you. If you like your car, then great—why do you care what anyone else thinks?

The surprising part is that you expected anything else from a bunch of car enthusiasts about crash test results. Did you expect people to say, “wow, this car is so safe, I can totally see myself buying one now?”
I have never seen a more butthurt fanboy
The Chiron is quicker to 249 even if it hasn’t yet beaten the unrestricted Veyron SS’s top speed yet. Would have had to give the Veyron even more of a head start which might have messed up some of the shots.
An M3 starts at $65k, a Guilia QF is $72k.
Yeah I dunno. I did quite a bit of digging on this issue when I first heard about it and that was all that I could find. Not saying there might not be a few isolated incidents but the vast majority of issues fell into one of those two categories. I should add that I only counted the misshifts when it was the owner…
This is silly. Your only two options are an Alfa or a Camry? There are plenty of very exciting cars that have proven themselves relatively reliable.
Really only an issue if you either (a) money shift or (b) add fairly extensive mods. I’ve not heard of it happening on a stock car without a misshift.
Found the butthurt Alfa fanboy
St. Louis and they’re listed on the dealers’ sites for MSRP.
There are more QVs sitting on local AR dealership lots near me than there are M3s, C63s or ATS-V and it just came out.
Found the Alfa/FCA fanboy.
And yet Audi, BMW and Mercedes are all ranked considerably higher than Cadillac in recent reliability rankings.
Just because your parents own Italian cars and you’re presumably a fan boy, doesn’t mean you need to get upset.
Not really. Anecdotal evidence of a potential problem with a car is useful information. Could be an underlying defect, symptom of a more widespread problem, etc.
Because that’s anecdotal evidence? Reliability isn’t about whether or not a particular car will break down (which is impossible to determine), it’s about the chances of it breaking down. Only when you aggregate data from thousands (if not millions) of cars can you have any kind of reasonable statistical support.
So during their one day test their brand new $75,000 car showed no signs of catastrophic failure? Impressive. Even when cars are unreliable, most of them aren’t build THAT badly where it should be readily apparent when brand new.
Not a manual, not brown, and not a wagon. Not Jalop’s dream at all.
BMW or VAG products are certainly not Hondas or Toyotas but go look at recent manufacturer reliability ratings for those brands. And then go look at the reliability ratings for Fiat, Chrsyler, and Dodge. There’s “reasonably expensive to maintain German” and then there’s “shit FCA.”
