I add my tale of woe. First really nice car I ever had. Can fit the whole family (6) in it. Have had the A/C condenser go out. Have had memory chip for seats go out 3x's. Had chip which controlled AWD go out. Tires don't wear well. Looking at my 2nd set since I purchased the car. Now I'm looking at the fact that it eats a quart of oil every 300 miles.
It's a nice car, but my garage knows me by name...
Nice design and creature comforts without having to buy a Lexus.
2002 was the first year for the R'vous. One should always be leery of buying a first-year model from ANY OEM. I just did a fairly detailed study of consumer opinions on the R'vous for model years 2002-2005, 4 years. 2002 was, hands down, the worst year. 2003+ were dramatically more reliable, though not perfect; but name me a perfectly reliable car.
