I know what you mean, but it just sounds funny.


I agree though, "issue" is very relative. My SVX has never been perfect, but it has also never really stranded me. All the dozens of little things that it has needed aside (which are more routine wear and tear on a 200K+ car and maintenance), the big three would be transmission failure (under warranty and I still was able to drive it home 5 miles), U-joint shattered (limped to my Subaru specialist where I was already headed when it happened), and headgasket failure (drove it very gently for 2 or 3 months and kept filling the radiator until YT came out West and fixed it).
