dreaded the repairs...even with the Lexus and Acuras I've always sought out a reputable and trustworthy repair shop for my work, instead of the dealership (a VERY bad experience with one of them).
We're enjoying our current versions right now...as long as you can afford the expected bills, buy whatever makes you happy...you'll probably spend a fair amount of time in that "carriage" and there are lots of selections within an acceptable cost range.
