You obviously didn't read between the lines. Only real issue with it is the auto tranny and that is when it isn't cared for properly. The rest of the car is simply bulletproof. Sure there are some cheapout things around like the fuel door and such but not as cheap as some of the parts in a bmw 3 series. Build quality blows Subaru's Indiana plant away.
I know that SL will cost ya plenty! They're fun cars but pricey to keep going.
