The 2-3 year experiences aren't long enough.

It's awesome that folks like their new purchases, but I'd want a hell of a lot more time before deciding whether a machine is worth it.

2-3 years should be the ":break-in" period.

Don't tell me how your vehicle is at 20k miles. Get back with me at 100-150k.

Again, no disrespect for those posters, but they're still new!
