'o4 issues -- yes. I NEVER buy anything in its first year.
'05 Minor
'06 none
Like Linda said You get twice the car for half the price. And you can do lots with it aftermarket wise.

I love the look of the car, the engine, and the styling...very cool.
I do not, however, think I be on a first name basis with the service manager at the local dealer for at least 5 years. I have seen many reports of first year, multiple, visits to the service center, as well as reports to government agencies...some folks on a yahoo board were even talking class action suit on the alignment problems of the 300C.
I am not flaming, my question is simply this: given what you have been through with recalls, service visits both resolved and unresolved, and road crown sensitivity/suspension alignment problems, would you purchase the car again?
Is the problem predominant/ubiquitous or an understandably vocal minority?
Thank you for your help. I love the car, but don't want to buy into a host of problems with no solutions, so your help and perspective are important to me.
