It was just odd compared to the other posts I have read, which have almost exclusively been extremely positive. But I have only been here for a couple weeks, so it's from a very small window.

I have to hold myself back from going out and buying one. I currently do not have the place to store the car and am trying to hold off till we buy a larger home. Which should be next year.

... without a place to store it, I'd definitely hold off. If you go with a specialty insurance policy, they'll typically REQUIRE that it be kept in a locked garage.

Reliability is a function of many factors... routine maintenance, how hard & how often you drive it, how high-strung the engine is... stuff like that. How loud the car is will be a function of the engine/setup, and the pipes. I would say mine is loud... have had many "nice big block" comments... and I'm running a small block. Really, it's only bad around town, where the curbs direct the exhaust noise right back at you... out on the open road, it's glorious at around 3000 rpm.
