True. My dad's had his for about 8 months now, put about 10k on it in that length of time and has never had a single issue with the brakes. We did have some unrelated electronic issues early on when we picked it up last summer, but those were all taken care of under warranty by the dealer. The SA even got us a 722.6 service for free after she put "something leaking in driveway" on the work order, referencing a connector that commonly leaks. It was leaking slightly, so they replaced it and did a complete fluid+filter service for no charge.

Very few issues since the initial hiccups. At his current pace, he'll only have to bring it in for service less than twice a year as oil changes go about 13k. And you've got to love the fact that with careful driving it'll get darn near 40mpg...and that's no ebay BS
