i would say do it IF you like to work on them yourself, or have a good mechanic that does not charge like a dealer. I have both. I however spend most of my weekends doing something new to it and the list of things to be done never ends. it actually grows. During the week I constantly consider giving up on it and buying a Honda. this happened yesterday as a matter of fact. As soon as I take a look at my car though, I change my mind. This is a constant thing with me.
