Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Mercedes Benz Durability for the Record

[Mike (themightytoe]

You know I have to agree Chevy service compared to everyone else is  
terrible. That said, I have had bmw f up simple jobs and Toyota and  
Ferrari also.

The diifference is they fixed the problems and tried to make things  
right.  Well Toyota tried but screwed up the retry.  Porsche and Audi  
were the minimal problem cars for me (and my e36 m3).  My C6 has been  
solid so far but it's barely past 10k miles
