I completely agree. I've only had my 600 for a year and a half, but I don't think I could break it if I tried. I treat the accelerator as an ON/OFF switch, always keep it in SPORT, ABC SPORT MODE and LOW. Traction stays off most of the time because I giggle everytime I step on the gas at 80mph and the rear end breaks loose. (eventually the little german guy inside the computer makes the triangle blink and keeps me from going too far sideways). The top goes up and down everywhere I go - 3-4 times a day.

I get 7 to 11mpg average and its worth every penny !

Buy a car to enjoy it. Buy something else if you want an investment.

If there would not be a warranty I could understand concerns, but dealership repairs on any model out of warranty is most always $$$$$$...
