[RickFLM4]

Favorite car I have leased / owned is current M4.

Least problems was a 2011 A6. Actually never had a single problem with it in about a year and 1/2 until a shit head hit me in a hit and run accident and I got rid of the car after that. The S4 that followed and my current M4 are tied for second.

Longest ownership was a 1998 Lexus GS. Minimal problems early on but started having issues around 100K miles, including an expensive ac repair.

Worst car I ever owned was a 2008 Lexus LS which was one problem after another - ironic since I got it to be problem free. Went to Audi after that and now BMW. Stopped worrying about quality reputation and prioritized what I wanted.

I drove Lexus for 17 years. It was mostly problem free until the LS. However, my experience has been they are no better than Audi / BMW quality-wise in the first few years of ownership. My wife's Q5 will be 7 years old this August and has been at least as reliable as her 1999 Lexus RX so far (other than air bag recalls). We have an extended warranty for 2 more years on it just in case...
