    new engines take a while before the issues are known.

    We've had a couple of 3.6 high features in my shop for water pumps.

    If possible, as a police department that uses them. They tend to beat the crap out of their cars.

    They are ok, but get worse gas mileage. Around 25-27 freeway.

    My friends mom had one and it hard some major problems. Sensor going wack and the trans blew up, so they replaced it, then the replacement blew up, then they put the SS trans in it and that worked fine after multiple week of repair and tuning, then they sold it.
