I said low, not maintenance free. But the more I dug around, this model is not the case. How butt-load of problems that may be forth coming. Guess I need to keep looking, but that design is so beautiful. It just bleeds sport, but with class and luxury.
Bleeding edge technology doesn't mean $19.99 oil change special upkeep costs. If that were the case Ferrari wouldn't sell a single car.
They are fantastic cars, engineered to a very high standard.
But that comes with a price, pay it and enjoy the car, or don't and drive a Camry.
