A quote from the article

Quote:
Our long-term Sonata GLS V6 certainly hasn't lost its halo, still performing flawlessly, but not to the point of being boring. OK, it's boring from a reliability standpoint. Nothing goes wrong so there's nothing to talk about. And in case you were thinking that all new cars are dependable, we have a smart fortwo this week that won't start half the time (more on this in the logs), had a Saab 9-3 two weeks ago that simply died on the side of the road (again more in the logs), and a MINI Cooper S a number of weeks before that which kept dying as it was being driven (ditto) - fortunately it would start up again, and continue on.
