The more you drive the car actually the more reliable the car is unfortunately the maintenance goes up and the parts arent cheap. like 500 dollars for a front brake rotor. the car has somewhere around 40 modules so if you dont drive it enough they dont get enough juice and think there is a problem. also there is very little access to many of the engine parts. like if your starter dies you will have to remove the engine and transmission then remove the right side turbo. but that is on all gt's and flying spurs 04-10.
